Cheesecake

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well blended. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Make the cheesecake filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, mixing well. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and mix until combined. Finally, add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.

  3. 3

    Combine and bake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Cool and chill

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the cheesecake and serve with macerated berries on top.
