Making Process – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Preparing the Crust
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into a springform pan firmly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool.
Step 2: Preparing the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Then add sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Step 3: Pouring and Baking
Pour the filling over the crust evenly. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50–55 minutes. The center should be slightly soft.
Step 4: Cooling and Serving
Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This helps it set properly. Serve chilled.
