Ingredients
  • 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 3/4 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Plus 2 tblsp melted butter
  • 1 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 2 ea Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 pound Cream cheese
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  2. 2
    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and 1/4 cup of the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. 3
    Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9-inch springform pan.
  4. 4
    Break the cream cheese into smaller chunks and place it in a food processor or stand mixer.
  5. 5
    Add the sour cream, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese.
  6. 6
    Blend the mixture on medium speed for about 1 minute until combined, then scrape down the sides.
  7. 7
    Blend again until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  8. 8
    With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  9. 9
    Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan and smooth the top.
  10. 10
    Bake in the lower third of the oven for 45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
  11. 11
    Turn off the oven and switch the setting to Broil. Watch closely as the cheesecake begins to brown slightly on top.
  12. 12
    Broil just until attractive golden-brown spots appear on the surface, being careful not to burn it.
  13. 13
    Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature.
  14. 14
    Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set fully.
