Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust.

Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing well. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and mix until combined.
- 3
Add the Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

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

Serve with Strawberry Syrup
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and drizzle with strawberry syrup before serving.
