Print Recipe

This creamy and indulgent Cheesecake Slab offers a rich, smooth texture with a buttery graham cracker crust, perfect for sharing at any gathering or celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ¼ cup sugar until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add 1 ¼ cups sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Mix in sour cream and flour until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked crust and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  10. Remove from oven, chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely before slicing into slabs.

Notes

For an extra touch, top the cheesecake slab with fresh berries or a drizzle of fruit compote before serving.
