Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted

For the Filling:

  • 4 8 oz packages Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line the bottom with parchment paper.

Make the Crust:

  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

Add Eggs:

  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended. Stir in sour cream until smooth.

Pour and Bake:

  • Pour the filling over the crust and spread evenly. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.

Cool and Chill:

  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Serve:

  • Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve with your favorite toppings like fresh berries or chocolate sauce.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth texture.
Avoid over-mixing the batter to prevent cracks.
