Method
Preparation
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Combine and Bake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Cool and Serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before serving. Release the sides of the springform pan and slice to serve.
