Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

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

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

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

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
