Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the granulated sugar and mix until combined. Then, add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing well.
