How to Make Best Cheesecake In The World Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gradually beat in 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
  7. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ¼ cup sour cream.
  9. Pour the cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
  10. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  11. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  12. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Add your favorite topping and enjoy!
