New York Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 (8 oz) 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
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during baking.
Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even layer.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
Incorporate the Sour Cream and Flour: Add the sour cream, flour, and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Place the pan in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water to create a water bath. Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the water bath and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice and serve plain or with your favorite fruit topping. Enjoy this rich and creamy New York cheesecake!
