Method
Crust Preparation
Make the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Cheese Filling Preparation
Prepare the cheese filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and mix until well combined. Add the 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.
Baking
Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheese filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for about 1 hour.
Cooling & Serving
Cool and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Before serving, top with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
