Preparation time

Cooking time

Ingredients
12 Servings
- 900 g cream cheese
- 4 eggs
- 200 g graham cracker crumbs
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 240 ml sour cream
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 10 ml vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed until just blended. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The center should still wobble slightly when you gently shake the pan.
Step 7
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
Step 8
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
