Preparation Instructions

Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix until well combined and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to mix until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake 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 another hour.

Chill and Serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled with your choice of toppings or sauces.
