Cheesecake Directions

Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

Combine and bake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the oven 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.
