Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.33 cups butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar (for crust)
• 24 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the sour cream, flour, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and continue to beat until fully incorporated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the center is almost set (it should still be slightly jiggly).

Step 9

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

Step 10

After cooling, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 11

Before serving, run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake. Release the springform and serve plain or with your favorite toppings such as fruit compote, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
