Method
Directions
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.

Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, mix in the flour until just combined.

Combine and Bake
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.

Cool and Serve
Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
