Cheesecake Directions

Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

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

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour.
