Cheesecake Ingredients

Method

Cheesecake Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crust

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the remaining sugar and mix until combined. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  3. 3

    Add flour

    Sift the all-purpose flour over the filling mixture and gently fold it in until just combined.

  4. 4

    Bake the cheesecake

    Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Cool and serve

    Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually. Remove from oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
