Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the flour and mix until just combined.
Combine and bake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly.
Cool and chill
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
