Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 32 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
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.
Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract and continue beating until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
Sprinkle the flour into the cheesecake batter and beat on low speed until just combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 60 minutes. The center should still be slightly jiggly but set around the edges.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and enjoy your dreamy, creamy cheesecake!
