Method
Crust Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the crumbs are well coated in butter and the mixture is crumbly yet holds together when pressed.
- 2
Form the Crust
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to help compact the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool while you prepare the filling.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation

Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until fully incorporated.

Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, eggs (one at a time), and flour to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on low speed until just combined and smooth, being careful not to overmix.

Pour Filling into Crust
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking and Cooling

Bake the Cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggles when shaken.

Cool the Cheesecake
Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Then, remove it from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for another hour before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving

Serve with Toppings
Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan. Top with fresh berries, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, and add whipped cream if desired. Slice and serve.
