Ingredients
8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add melted butter and sugar, mixing until combined.
Stir in vanilla extract, eggs, and sour cream until smooth.
Pour mixture into prepared pan.
Bake for 35 minutes.
Cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
Use a parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan.
Avoid overmixing to maintain a silky texture.
Room temperature eggs help integrate smoothly into the batter.
Gradual cooling prevents cracking.
