How to Make 8 Minute Cheesecake

  3. Blend in 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

  5. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  6. Spoon the cheesecake mixture into your prepared graham cracker crust (see note below).
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
