Ingredients
Scale
- Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Use a fork to mix until the crumbs are well-coated with the butter and the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one by one, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spread it evenly, and bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set.
- Cool the cake in the oven for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for the best results.
