Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Add eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

Cool and chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
