Ingredients

• 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
• 100 grams unsalted butter (melted)
• 900 grams cream cheese (softened)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 240 milliliters sour cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 5 large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, mixing until the crumbs are well coated.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan, creating an even layer.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Step 5

Using a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture is creamy.

Step 7

Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 8

Sprinkle the flour over the cream cheese mixture and gently fold it in.

Step 9

Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing to prevent air bubbles.

Step 10

Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake in the center of the oven for about 85-90 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set with a slight jiggle.

Step 12

Turn off the oven and slightly crack the oven door, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually for about 1 hour, helping to prevent cracks.

Step 13

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set completely.

Step 14

Before serving, carefully remove the springform pan's sides. Slice the cheesecake with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean slices. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
