Comment préparer Just Plain Luscious Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- For the crust: Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter in a food processor. Pulse until finely combined and evenly moistened.
- Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Refrigerate the crust for 10 minutes to firm up.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, beat together 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
- While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the topping:
- In a small bowl, combine 8 ounces sour cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Once the cheesecake has cooled in the oven, remove it and let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Spread the sour cream topping evenly over the cooled cheesecake.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
