A deliciously dense and creamy New York cheesecake with a sweet graham cracker crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup sugar, and melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a stable crust.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth like a dream. Add in 1 cup of sugar and the vanilla extract, mixing until these ingredients are harmonized and well combined.
  3. Introduce the eggs to the mixture one at a time. Mix well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the sour cream and flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the luscious filling over the crust in the springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to eliminate air bubbles.
  6. Bake for about 1 hour, or until the center appears set but still has a gentle jiggle.
  7. Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, serve with fresh raspberry sauce, drizzled chocolate, or whipped cream. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
