Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups sugar
Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cups sour cream
Topping
  • 1 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 0.25 cups strawberry jam (optional for extra glaze) Use for added flair.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Prepare the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a large bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, mixing until well combined.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the center is set but still wobbly.
  2. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool gradually.
  3. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better) before removing the springform edge.
Topping
  1. Top with strawberries and drizzle with strawberry jam if desired.

Notes

Make this cheesecake the day before you need it for the best flavor. Decorate with powdered sugar for an aesthetic touch. Don't worry about any cracks; they can be covered with chocolate or fresh fruit.
