Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add 1 cup granulated sugar and mix until well incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Blend in the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 7

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the flour and gently fold it into the batter until just combined.

Step 9

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 11

Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Step 12

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Step 13

Before serving, release the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into 12 pieces. Serve plain or with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
