    In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and 1/4 cup of the melted butter.
  3. 3
    Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  4. 4
    Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 8 or 9-inch springform pan to form a compact crust.
  5. 5
    Break the cream cheese into small chunks to allow for easier blending.
  6. 6
    In a food processor or blender, combine the sour cream, remaining 1/2 cup of sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.

    Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and switch the oven setting to Broil.
  14. 14
