Ingredients
Crust
Filling
Topping (optional)
Crust
1. Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
2. Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Filling
3. Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to mix until well combined.
4. Add Remaining Ingredients
Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Ensure the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
5. Pour Filling into Crust
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake the Cheesecake
Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
7. Cool and Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Topping
8. Add Topping (Optional)
When ready to serve, top the cheesecake with fresh sliced strawberries and drizzle with strawberry sauce if desired.
