To make a classic cheesecake, you will need ingredients such as cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and graham crackers for the crust. Here is a general outline of the steps to make a cheesecake:
-
Prepare the crust: Crush graham crackers and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for a few minutes.
-
Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then add eggs one at a time. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Bake: Pour the filling over the crust and bake in a water bath to prevent cracking. Bake until the center is almost set.
-
Chill: Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight to set.
-
Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and serve with your favorite toppings such as fruit compote or whipped cream.
Enjoy your homemade cheesecake!
