24 oz brick style cream cheese, softened to room temperature (630g)
1 cup granulated sugar (200g)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
For the crust
00:30 Combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar In a medium-sized bowl and stir together. Add melted butter and use a fork to stir together until crumbs are moistened.
01:35 Preheat oven to 300F (150C).
01:50 Pour crumbs into 9” springform pan and firmly press into the bottom and up the sides of your pan (if the crust won’t go all the way up the side of your pan don’t stress, my grandmother and my mother often make this recipe just pressing the crust flat into the bottom, either works!). Set aside.
For the cheesecake
03:13 Combine cream cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl (or in the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment) and use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy (don’t over-beat or you’ll add in too much air). Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure there are no lumps and then stir briefly again.
04:00 Add vanilla extract and salt and stir until combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
04:27 With the mixer on low speed, add lightly beaten eggs, one at time, stirring just until each egg is incorporated into the batter. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula again to be sure all ingredients are mixed.
05:35 Pour cheesecake batter into prepared springform pan and place on a parchment or foil lined baking sheet. Transfer to center rack of 300F (150C) preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes. To tell that the cheesecake is done, give it a light jostle. The center will still be jiggly (like jello) but the edges should be set. If you still aren’t sure if it’s done, you can use an instant read thermometer to check the temperature of the center of the cheesecake, it should read at least 165F/74C.
06:10 When cheesecake is done baking, remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 5 minutes before preparing the topping (leave the oven on as the cheesecake will return.)
For the topping
06:22 After the cheesecake has cooled for 5 minutes, combine sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract and use an electric mixer to beat together until thoroughly combined.
07:08 Pour mixture evenly over the cheesecake and return to the 300F (150C) oven for 5 minutes.
07:30 Remove cheesecake from the oven and allow to cool for at least an hour before transferring to the refrigerator to chill overnight, or at least 6 hours, before serving.

Notes
Pan
This recipe may also be baked in a 10” springform pan (just press the crust directly into the bottom of the pan)
Storing
Cover springform pan with foil or plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I serve my cheesecake right in the springform pan it’s cooked in, I remove the collar to slice and serve it and then return the collar for storage.

I made this cheese cake recipe for my son's 60th birthday. (He was born on Christmas day.) It is the best cheese cake I have ever eaten!! I highly recommend this recipe. I also made Shoney's strawberry pie glaze to top it off.
Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!

I love the technique instructions you always give. They really do improve the outcomes of the bake.
I am 68 and have been baking since childhood. I was always complemented on my bakes, but you have taught this old gal some excellent new tricks. Thanks.

Thank you Sam for sharing your family recipe 🤗 it's pretty similar to my Mom's, it's the only cheesecake I've ever made actually. The only difference is a little lemon juice in the topping. I just love family recipes ❤

We voted tonight at the SSR National Convention and I was chosen to represent your 302K subscribers and tell you that we all love you too! Also, Ella is going to remember that “I’m just kidding, you can’t have any cheesecake!” crack when you’re 98 years-old and in the old folks home. Karma!!! 😁 Cool show!
