Preparation
- 1
Make the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until fully incorporated. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Assemble and Bake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.

Chill and Serve
After the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice. Serve plain or with your favorite toppings.
