Cheesecake Ingredients
Method
Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the remaining sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Blend until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Finally, add the flour and mix until just incorporated.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden. The center may still be slightly jiggly; it will firm up as it cools.

Cool and Serve
Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and serve.
