Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the 1 cup of sugar and beat until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Sprinkle the flour into the mixture and gently fold it in until no streaks remain.

Step 9

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any leaks and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 70-90 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

Step 11

Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.

Step 12

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen it. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 13

Before serving, release the springform pan and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. Slice and enjoy your homemade Evelyn's Cheesecake!
