This classic Cheesecake is a tall, ultra-creamy, New York-style
First things first, let’s take a look at this beauty! Feast your eyes on this divine creation!
Now that we’ve drooled a little, let’s get down to business. Here’s what you’ll need for our ultra-creamy cheesecake:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
Now that you’ve got your ingredients, let’s throw a party in your kitchen and whip up this cheesecake!
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). You want it nice and warm, just like your love for cheesecake.
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix it up until it’s nicely combined. Press this mix into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. This is the base that will hold all that creamy goodness!
- In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. It should look so creamy that you might want to dive right in. Say no to that…for now!
- Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and flour. Beat until well mixed. Now, add those eggs, one at a time. Beat just until combined—let’s not overwork those eggs; we want them to keep their dignity!
- Add the sour cream and mix until well blended. Pour this luscious batter onto your graham cracker crust.
- Time to bake! Place the cheesecake in the oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still wobbly. Just like you on a Saturday night!
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool for about an hour. Don’t rush it; let it chill out. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you have the patience of a saint.
- When you’re ready to dig in, remove it from the springform pan and slice yourself a generous piece. Don’t be shy; you’ve earned it!
And there you have it—a cheesecake that could stop traffic! Enjoy every creamy bite and maybe even save a slice for someone special (just maybe).
