How to Make Oh I Love This Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and sugar, then pulse until evenly combined.
  3. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream.
  6. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
  7. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath to prevent cracking).
  8. Bake for 210 minutes in the preheated oven. Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This allows for slow cooling.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
