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
▢ 4 large eggs room temperature

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.
