Title: Quick And Easy Cheesecake
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– ⅓ cup sugar
– 6 tablespoons melted butter
– 16 oz cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ⅓ cup of sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to create an even crust. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the ½ cup of sugar and continue mixing until well combined.
5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until the filling is smooth and velvety.
6. Pour the cream cheese filling over the baked crust in the springform pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
7. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
9. When ready to serve, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Slice the cheesecake into wedges and garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or your favorite topping.
