Ingredients

Gather these ingredients to whip up your perfect cheesecake:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, follow these simple steps to create your cheesecake:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until combined.
  4. Add vanilla extract, then mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Add sour cream, flour, and lemon juice; mix just until combined.
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve your delicious cheesecake!

Enjoy your perfect cheesecake! You can top it with fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or simply serve it straight up for that classic taste. Happy baking!
