Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and salt. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.
Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and continue to mix until well combined. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another hour to cool gradually.
Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
