Prepare the crust

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Combine and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 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 slightly open for about 1 hour.
