Frosting Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoons milk (for desired consistency)
Directions:
Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Combine the sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth in a large bowl. Gradually add sugar, beating until creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour and sour cream until just combined.
Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and spreadable.
Frost the Cheesecake: Spread the frosting evenly over the chilled cheesecake. For an extra touch, you can pipe decorative swirls around the edges.
Serve: Slice and enjoy your beautifully frosting cheesecake.
