1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). If using a store-bought graham cracker crust, skip to step 2. If making your own, crush about 1 1/2 cups of graham crackers, mix with 1/4 cup of melted butter and press into the bottom of a springform pan.
2
Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and sour cream, mixing until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix again.
3
Add Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
4
Bake
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
5
Cool and Chill
Let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
