Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cheesecake, 14-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (1 inner pack or 20 crackers)
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Mix crust ingredients well. Line the bottom of a 9" or 10" springform pan and press down.
  • Mix filling ingredients together and pour on top of the graham cracker crust.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Reset oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix topping ingredients together and gently pour or spoon over cooled cheese mixture. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Refrigerate a minimum of 6 hours or overnight.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the star of the cheesecake, so make sure to use a good quality brand that is smooth and creamy.
  • Bring your cream cheese to room temperature: This will help it mix more smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan is essential for making a cheesecake because it allows you to easily remove the cheesecake from the pan once it is baked.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating the batter can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving: This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
