Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for the crust)
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for the filling)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir until evenly moistened.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press it evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and let it cool while preparing the filling.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue beating until fully incorporated.

Step 7

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Step 8

Add the sour cream and mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Bake the cheesecake pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when the dish is gently shaken.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

Step 12

Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, top with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
