Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups Sugar
  • 12 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
  • 32 ounces Cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 0.5 cups Sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with baking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • In a stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Reduce mixer speed to medium. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Spread the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Let the dish cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Chill completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Always chill the bars for at least four hours or overnight for best flavor.
  • Room temperature ingredients help prevent lumps.
  • Press firmly when forming the crust, and monitor baking time for best results.
