Grandma's classic cheesecake with luscious sour cream topping - a timeless delight.
Ingredients:
  • 1.25 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.75 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pint sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to create the perfect cooking environment.
  • Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until fully incorporated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch round pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the filling into the crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until almost set with a slight jiggle in the center, around 18 minutes. Then, increase the oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) and bake for another 2 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, keeping the oven on.
  • In a bowl, gently mix sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled filling.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until the topping is set. Let it cool at room temperature for 5 to 6 hours, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
