6 Inch Cheesecake
Take a look at this gorgeous cheesecake!
### Ingredients:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
- Add the egg to the mixture and beat until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Finally, fold in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Once done, turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually inside the oven for about 1 hour.
- After it has cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow it to firm up.
- When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!
This 6-inch cheesecake is the perfect balance of creamy and sweet, making it an excellent choice for any occasion. Enjoy each slice, and don’t forget to share with loved ones—or keep it all to yourself!
