Classic New York Cheesecake With Topping
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 pint sour cream
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Make a crust by combining graham crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium-sized bowl until it reaches an even consistency. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and about! up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set it aside for now.
3
Create the cheesecake mixture by blending cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until it reaches a smooth state. Combine eggs, vanilla, and cream of tartar into the mixture to achieve a uniform blend.
4
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust you prepared earlier, making sure to fill the entire 9-inch springform pan.
5
Bake the cheesecake in your preheated oven until the center is set, taking approximately 50 minutes to complete. Remove it from the oven and let it cool on a flat surface for 5 minutes.
6
While your cheesecake is cooling, prepare the topping mixture by mixing sour cream, sugar, and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl until it reaches a smooth state.
7
Pour the topping mixture over the cooled cheesecake, starting from the sides and working your way to the center.
8
Return the cheesecake to the oven for a short period of time until the topping is set, approximately 5 minutes. Allow it to cool completely in the pan before refrigerating it for at least 6 hours.
9
Finally, chill your cheesecake in the refrigerator before serving.
