Ingredients
-
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-
1/4 cup sugar
-
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
-
4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
-
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/4 cup sour cream
-
4 large eggs
-
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, and mix well.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
Sift together the flour and salt, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
-
Pour the filling into the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
-
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in for 1 hour. Remove, let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
-
Once chilled, remove from the springform pan and serve.
Notes
-
For a twist, top with fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
-
For a gluten-free option, substitute the graham cracker crust with almond flour or gluten-free cookies.
