Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 oz of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract together using an electric hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until fully incorporated and smooth. Pour the mixture into the 9-inch pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when shaken. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving. Enjoy!
