Crust Preparation

Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Form the Crust
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact the crust tightly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
Filling Preparation

Mix the Cream Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add Sugar and Sour Cream
Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Then add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Incorporate Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined after each addition. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles.

Cool and Chill
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Then remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
