1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
2
Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
3
Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
4
Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
