Method
Cheesecake Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool.

Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract; mix until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Combine and Bake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 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 to prevent cracking.

Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve with your favorite fruit topping.
