Cheesecake

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

  2. 2

    Make the cheesecake filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    Bake the cheesecake

    Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.

  4. 4

    Cool and chill

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

  5. 5

    Add the toppings

    Before serving, top the chilled cheesecake with raspberry jam and sliced strawberries.
