Ingredients
- 2 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons of melted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form a crust. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating until fully incorporated. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Enjoy!
Equipment

- Large bowl
- Electric mixer
- Spatula
Notes
Make sure to use full-fat cream cheese, as the lower fat versions will not give the same creamy texture. For a lighter cheesecake, use light cream cheese and reduce the amount of sugar. If you prefer a sweeter cheesecake, you can add more sugar to taste. For a nuttier flavor, you can add chopped nuts or a crunchy topping to the top of the cheesecake before baking. You can also add a layer of jam or preserves on the bottom of the crust for a fruity twist.
