Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Combine and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.

Cool and Serve
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, top with berry compote and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
