Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

  2. 2

    Mix the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine and bake

    Pour the ricotta mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Chill and serve

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan before slicing and serving.
