How to Make Baked Cheesecake
An elegant baked cheesecake recipe like this one might look intimidating, but it’s really not difficult to make.
It is baked in a springform pan.
First you make the graham cracker crumb base and pat it into the bottom of the springform pan. Pat it down so it is evenly distributed across the bottom of the pan.
Set that aside and begin mixing the filling. The filling is a mix of eggs, cream cheese and sugar . Mix it together as shown in the recipe instructions.
Pour the filling over the graham crust and bake for 20 minutes, then turn up the heat and finish baking the cheesecake. A topping of vanilla mixed with sour cream and icing sugar is poured over the top just before the final bake.
Top your cooled down cheesecake and get ready for a wonderful experience.
