Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
Make the filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until fully incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Chill the cheesecake
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
