Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 32 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Sour cream, room temperature
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 6 pieces Large eggs, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with two layers of aluminum foil to protect against water leaks.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
One at a time, beat in the eggs on low speed, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next. Avoid overmixing to preserve the creamy texture.
Sift in the flour and gently fold it into the batter until fully combined.
Pour the batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the springform pan into a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan (a water bath helps prevent cracks).
Bake in the preheated oven for 85-90 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly when shaken.
Turn off the oven and crack open the door slightly. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent sudden temperature changes, which can cause cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath. Run a knife along the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, then let it cool to room temperature.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set and develop its flavors.
Serve chilled, either plain or with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
