Cheesecake Preparation
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until well combined. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Finally, add the flour and mix until just combined.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.

Cool and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before slicing and serving.
