1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
2
Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
3
Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
4
Add Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition until just combined.
5
Fill the Crust
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
6
Bake the Cheesecake
Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
7
Chill
Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight before serving.
8
Serve with Sauce
Top with chocolate or raspberry sauce before serving.
