Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp melted unsalted butter
Filling
  • 32 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • mixing bowls
  • electric mixer

Method
 

Crust
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, then press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until just combined. Pour the filling over the crust.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F (175°C), then reduce oven temperature to 250°F (120°C) and bake for an additional 60-70 minutes.
  2. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

For best results, make sure all ingredients for the filling are at room temperature to ensure a smooth batter. Do not overmix the batter once the eggs are added, as this can introduce too much air and cause cracks in the cheesecake.
