Cheesecake Preparation
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just blended.

Combine and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

Chill
Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
