Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 0.25 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Mix well until the texture resembles damp sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press it firmly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 0.75 cup granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until combined.

Step 7

One at a time, add the eggs, beating well after each addition.

Step 8

Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Step 10

While the pie is baking, make the sour cream topping. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and carefully spread the sour cream topping over the warm filling.

Step 12

Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to set the topping.

Step 13

Let the pie cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill completely.

Step 14

Serve chilled and enjoy!
