Cheesecake Filling
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, and mix until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the flour and mix until just combined.

Combine and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

Cool and Serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve plain or with your favorite toppings.
