Easy New York Style Cheesecake Recipe
This cheesecake features a dense and creamy filling baked over a crunchy graham cracker crust. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and bake, plus chilling time, and serves 8 people.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just blended. Do not overmix.
- Add Sour Cream and Flour: Gently fold in the sour cream and flour until just combined.
- Bake: Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve plain or with your choice of toppings.
