How to Make Vanilla Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your graham cracker crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in sugar until well combined.
- Beat in vanilla extract.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl frequently; do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared crust.
- Place springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath).
- Bake for 95 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
