Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs about 10 crackers
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar for the crust
- 32 oz cream cheese softened
- 1.25 cups sugar for the filling
- 1 cups sour cream room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1.25 cups of sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until blended. Add eggs one at a time, blending just until combined after each addition.
- Pour the filling into the crust-lined pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for about 90 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned. Let it cool in the pan before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
For a perfect slice, run a sharp knife under hot water before cutting the cheesecake. Clean the knife between each cut.
