Cheesecake Directions

Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust.

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

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when moved. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
