1
Prepare the Crust
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
2
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and lemon juice until smooth.
3
Combine and Bake
Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake at 160°C (320°F) for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
4
Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
