Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until well combined. Add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition.

Combine and Bake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.

Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
