Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare your springform pan.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix thoroughly.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Refrigerate to chill.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese on medium speed until creamy.
  • Gradually add sugar and mix well. Sprinkle in all-purpose flour and mix until combined.
  • Incorporate vanilla bean paste and vanilla extract into the mixture, beating until smooth.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in sour cream and lemon juice until creamy.
  • Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan until browned, then cool slightly and mix into the batter.
  • Pour the filling into the chilled crust and spread evenly. Tap to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes until edges are set, and center jiggles slightly.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  • Remove from the oven, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Carefully remove from the pan, slice, and serve chilled for a delightful experience.

Notes

For best results, refrigerate the cheesecake overnight. Serve with fresh strawberries or whipped cream for an extra touch.
