Cheesecake Directions

Prepare the crust

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.

Bake
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.

Cool and refrigerate
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
