Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream

- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream until fully combined.
- Pour cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chilled.
- Before serving, top with strawberry sauce.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth mix. Press the crust firmly to hold together. Do not over bake; the center should be mostly set.
