👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Making this Decadent Black Forest Cheesecake involves a few layers of love, but it’s well worth the effort. Follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated with the butter.
3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon to firmly pack the crumbs down.
4. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the whipping cream, sour cream, and granulated sugar, and mix until combined.
2. Add the vanilla extract and mix in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
3. Add the flour and mix until smooth.
4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
5. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
6. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour. Then transfer it to the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
