There are many variations of cheesecake, but one of the most famous and delicious is the New York-style cheesecake. In this blog post, we will be sharing with you our tried and true recipe for the ultimate NY cheesecake.
Ingredients
For the crust: - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1/4 cup granulated sugar For the filling: - 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened - 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar - 1 cup sour cream - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract - 4 large eggs, at room temperature
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
Step 2: Make the crust
In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, using the back of a measuring cup to make it even. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you make the filling.
Step 3: Make the filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract and beat until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 4: Bake the cheesecake
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake the cheesecake for 1 hour or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for another 30 minutes with the door slightly ajar.
Step 5: Chill the cheesecake
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy!
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
