Print Recipe

A rich, creamy, and velvety cheesecake with a delightful graham cracker crust, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 lb cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Mix until evenly coated.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
  6. Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until incorporated.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
  8. Prepare a water bath by placing a larger baking pan filled with hot water on the bottom oven rack.
  9. Place the cheesecake on the middle rack and bake for 55-70 minutes, until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  10. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for about 1 hour.
  11. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For best results, let all ingredients come to room temperature before mixing. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
