Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 9-inch pre-made graham cracker crust
- whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- fresh fruit or fruit compote (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined and smooth.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the filled crust on a baking sheet to make it easier to handle and to catch any overflow.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set but still has a slight jiggle. Avoid overbaking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set and chill.
Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of fruit compote, if desired.
