Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 9 inch Graham cracker pie crust
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
Step 3: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, on low speed to avoid overmixing. Once smooth, pour the mixture into the graham cracker pie crust and spread evenly.
Step 4: Place the cheesecake on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the center is almost set (it should still have a slight jiggle).
Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.
Step 6: Optional - Garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving.
