Method
Preparation
Make the crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then let cool.
Prepare the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in granulated sugar, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
Combine and bake
Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Add toppings
Before serving, add your choice of fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce on top of the cheesecake.
