1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
2
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the remaining sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour, mixing until fully integrated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
3
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
4
Cool and Serve
Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for about an hour. This helps prevent cracking. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy your cheesecake!
