Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and crumbly.

  2. 2

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  2. 4

    Add Eggs and Flavoring

    Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition. Finally, stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth.

  3. 5

    Pour the Filling

    Pour the cream cheese filling onto the cooled crust in the springform pan. Spread evenly.

  4. 6

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 60-70 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

  5. 7

    Chill the Cheesecake

    Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Deep Frying (optional)

  1. 8

    Prepare for Frying

    If you choose to deep fry, cut the chilled cheesecake into squares or desired shapes.

  2. 9

    Batter Preparation

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, egg, and milk until smooth. Dip each cheesecake piece into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.

  3. 10

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.

  4. 11

    Fry the Cheesecake

    Carefully place the battered cheesecake pieces into the hot oil. Fry for about 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serving Suggestions
