Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300&# 194;°F (150ðC).
  2. Melt 4 tablespoons of margarine or butter in a small saucepan or microwave.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form a crust.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs to the cream cheese and mix until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to prevent excessive air bubbles.
  7. Pour the filling mixture over the prepared crumb crust.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
  9. Turn off the oven but leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for another hour to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
  10. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
