Classic New York Cheesecake

Ingredients - Serves 12

• Eggs - 4
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon
• Sour cream - 1 cup
• All-purpose flour - 3 tablespoons
• Granulated sugar - 1 cup
• Cream cheese - 32 oz (4 packages), softened
• Unsalted butter - 1/3 cup, melted
• Graham cracker crumbs - 1 1/2 cups

Let's Get Started

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the sugar, flour, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until well combined.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
7. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
10. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
