Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Graham cracker crumbs
- 85 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 450 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 120 grams Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture has the consistency of wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press it firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar (for the filling) and beat until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and lemon juice until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to prevent air bubbles from forming.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. The pie will continue to firm up as it cools.
Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Once cooled, cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve chilled and garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or your favorite topping if desired. Enjoy!
