Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated.
  3. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Ensure it’s even.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to incorporate fully.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until everything is well combined and smooth.
  7. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven, then crack the door open to let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  10. After cooling, remove it from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

For best texture, ensure cream cheese is fully softened. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for 2 months.
