This is a cheese-pie really, that my grandmother and mother both make perfectly. This was handed down from 4 generations in my family, and I've seen other people's variations, but so far, mom's and grandma's are my favorites.

Time 6h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
3 large eggs
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint sour cream
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter for crust in a bowl until well mixed. Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch round pan.
  • Combine cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract for filling in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until nearly set and only slightly jiggly in the center, about 18 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) and keep cheesecake in for 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
  • Combine sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl and mix with a spoon. Pour carefully over the cooled filling.
