Romantic Anniversary Indulgence Cheesecake

 

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!
