Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, mixing well. Add vanilla extract and mix. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in sour cream until fully incorporated.
Assemble and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve with your choice of toppings.
