How to Make A Perfect Cheesecake (9 Steps)

Cheesecake is a tasty dessert that is made with cream cheese, eggs, sour cream and sugar in a graham cracker crust. The dessert tends to take a little practice before being perfect. The key is to work the cheesecake batter slowly, so that you evenly mix but don't over mix the ingredients. You also need to use a spring form pan so that the cheesecake is easily removed. Once you've perfected a simple cheesecake, you can add a variety of toppings. Fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, or cherries, chocolate, peanut butter or nuts can all be used to add flavor to a cheesecake.
