Method
Crust Preparation
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool.
Filling Preparation
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Add vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Combine and Bake
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for about 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.
