Prepare the crust

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

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.

Cool and chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
