Instructions
Heat oven to 350° F.
- In a medium size bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar; press crumb mixture into the bottom of 10-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar until well blended. Add the sour cream and vanilla; mix until combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
- Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Remove from oven and carefully run a knife around rim of pan to loosen the cheesecake from the outer rim; let the cheesecake cool completely before removing the rim. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Can I use Almond flour instead of gram cracker?
I don’t think almond flour would work the same way as graham crackers. If you try it, let us know how it worked for you!
can i USE A 9 INCH SPRING FORM IT IS ALL I HAVE
You should be fine. If it looks like your pan is getting too full, just put the remaining cheesecake mixture in a ramekin. You definitely won’t want to cook it as long as the cheesecake, but it would make a nice little treat!
Where do you bake in oven top, center or bottom rack
Place cheesecake on a rack in the center of your oven.
Where in the oven do you bake your? Top, center or bottom rack? Also, do I need to do a water bath to cook it in?
Thanks
I make this Cheesecake as Christmas time. All my kids and grandkids love ❤️ it.
Can I make this in a pie pan ?
Can a lemon zest be added to this
Hi Sandra, I think lemon zest would be wonderful in this cheesecake.
Can I make this without a Springform pan?
I think it would bake up fine, but you would probably run into a problem trying to remove slices without making a mess.
I made this simple cheese cake recipe. It was so creamy and delicious.
Thanks for the recipe
I so happy you liked it!
Wow! This cheesecake is the absolute best! I’ve made it 4 different times this holiday season! Everyone LOVES it! Special baking hack on this one – after it’s done baking, turn off the oven, open the oven door and let the cheesecake just sit in the oven for 30 minutes to an hour. Then put in the fridge. Your cheesecake will not split on the top and you don’t have to worry about a fussy water bath!!
