This BEST Easy Cheesecake Recipe delivers a rich, creamy, and smooth classic cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust. Perfect for beginners and guaranteed to impress every time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and beat until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until smooth.
  5. Pour the batter over the crust in the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  7. Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • For a crack-free top, avoid overmixing and use a water bath if desired.
  • Let ingredients come to room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Top with fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce if desired.
  • Cheesecake can be made 1–2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.
