Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

Bake the crust

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Add vanilla extract and mix well.

Add eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just blended after each addition. Do not overmix.

Pour and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly.

Cool and chill
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
