Easy Baked Vanilla Cheesecake

This is the first cheesecake I have ever made, and I will say that it was easy and delicious! I will admit that I am addicted to  cheesecake and will need to limit using this recipe (but it's soooo good!). I hope you enjoy this yummy cheesecake! I am not sure where I got this recipe, so I will update with a link when I find it.

Easy Vanilla Baked Cheesecake

Crust:
(8") Springform Cake Pan
9oz of Graham Crackers
5oz Melted Butter

1. Prepare your cake pan by lining the base with wax paper.
2. Use a food processor to make your crackers into crumbs. If you don't  have a food processor, place biscuits in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have crumbs.
3. Place crumbs in a bowl and use your fingers to press the crumbs mixture evenly around the tin and up the sides to form a shell.
4. Once you have a fairy to form a shell, place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Filling:

1.1 lbs Cream Cheese (room temperature)

10.5 oz Sour Cream

3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

3 Eggs

3 tbsp Vanilla Extra

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 320 degrees F.
2. Place your cream cheese, sour cream and sugar in a clean bowl of an electric mixer and mix until combined and smooth. You can also use a food processor.
3. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix again until well combined.
4. Pour mixture into your shell.
5. Bake for one hour. Turn off oven and open the oven door slightly and allow the cake to cool slowly in the oven (this prevents cracking).
