Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed cup to make it compact and even. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

Step 6

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggles when gently shaken.

Step 8

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly cracked open for about 1 hour to cool gradually. This helps prevent cracks from forming.

Step 9

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the pan. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Step 10

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely before serving.

Step 11

Gently remove the springform pan ring. Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled. Enjoy!
