Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (170g)
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar (can substitute white)
  • 7 Tablespoons butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 32 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature, 910g)
  • 1 cup sugar (200g)
  • ⅔ cups sour cream (160g)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F (160C).

    Prepare Graham Cracker crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and brown sugar. Add melted butter and mix well. Press into a 9” Springform pan.

  2. Cheesecake:

    In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth. Gradually add eggs, one at a time. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

  3. Bake:

    Bake at 325F (160C) for 50-60 minutes. The edges should be slightly puffed and golden, and the center should jiggle slightly. Avoid over-baking.

  4. Cool and Chill:

    Let the cheesecake cool, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • For best results, bring all refrigerated ingredients to room temperature before starting.
  • A water bath can help prevent cracks on the surface of the cheesecake.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid incorporating too much air.
