Ingredients

Scale

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Granulated sugar or sprinkles (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a springform pan.
In a bowl, mix melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add flour and mix until crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar while mixing. Then add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Turn off the oven, crack open its door slightly, and let cool inside for about an hour before transferring to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
Before serving, remove from the springform pan and top with granulated sugar or sprinkles.
