Praline Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Crust

   Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

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

3. 3

   Bake the Cheesecake

   Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

4. 4

   Cool and Chill

   Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
