Creamy Cheesecake with Crumble Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream

For the Crumble Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions:

Prepare the Crust:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl.
3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
2. Gradually beat in sugar until combined.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. Gently fold in sour cream until just combined.

Assemble and Bake:

1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust.
2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cold butter. Use your fingers to crumble the mixture.
3. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake filling.
4. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
5. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Serve:

1. Run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake.
2. Remove the sides of the pan.
3. Slice and serve chilled.
