Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
- 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Step 3
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even crust. Use the bottom of a flat glass or measuring cup to press it down smoothly. 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 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar to the cream cheese and beat until well-combined and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 7
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Do not overmix. Once the eggs are incorporated, sift in the flour and gently fold it into the batter.
Step 8
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
Step 10
Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Step 11
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to set completely.
Step 12
Once chilled, carefully run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake before releasing the springform pan. Slice and serve plain or with your favorite topping, such as fresh berries or caramel sauce.
