Cheesecake Recipe

Cheesecake Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Crust

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

2. 2

   Mix the Filling

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

3. 3

   Combine and Bake

   Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

4. 4

   Cool and Chill

   Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Then, remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. You can top it with fresh fruits, chocolate sauce, or any flavor of your choice before serving.
