Cheesecake Preparation
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently until just combined.

Combine and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Cool and glaze
Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour, then remove and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, glaze the top with apricot glaze and sprinkle with ground almonds.
