Romantic Anniversary Indulgence Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups of crushed graham crackers (for the crust)
- ½ cup of melted butter (to hold the crust together)
- 2 cups of cream cheese (this is the yummy part!)
- 1 cup of sugar (to make it sweet)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for extra flavor)
- 3 large eggs (to make it fluffy)
- 1 cup of sour cream (to make it creamy)
- Fresh strawberries or chocolate shavings (for decoration)
Instructions:
1. Make the Crust:
First, we need to make the crust! In a big bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter together. It should look like wet sand. Now, take a round cake pan and press this mixture into the bottom. This will be our yummy base!
2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling:
In another big bowl, put the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer to beat it until it’s super smooth. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Finally, stir in the sour cream until everything is mixed together nicely.
3. Pour and Bake:
Now, pour this creamy mixture over the crust in the cake pan. It’s going to look so delicious! Preheat your oven to 325°F (that's hot!) and bake the cheesecake for about 50-60 minutes. It should be set but still a little jiggly in the middle.
4. Cool Down:
After baking, let it cool down for a bit, then put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you can wait!). This makes it super cold and yummy!
5. Decorate:
When you’re ready to eat, take it out of the fridge and decorate it with fresh strawberries or chocolate shavings on top.
6. Slice and Enjoy:
Now, slice it up and enjoy your special cheesecake with someone you love!
