This easy and creamy cheesecake is absolutely delicious! Make your own crust or use storebought. Cream cheese, eggs, sugar, sour cream make it the best!
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter and pack mixture firmly into bottom and sides of 9-inch pie pan.
Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
For the filling:
Preheat oven to 300f degrees.
Mix cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a mixer.
Add eggs one at a time to the mixture and thoroughly combine.
The key to getting a really creamy cheesecake is to mix these ingredients together really well until the mixture is kind of thick and smooth (about 4-5 minutes).
Pour into pie crust.
Bake for about 65-70 minutes at 300f degrees. Allow cheesecake to cool completely in the refrigerator before serving (about 3-4 hours)

Notes
You can make the pie crust, or you can just use a premade one from the store. If you use a pre-made one, try to look for the crusts that says “2 extra servings." I you can't find it, just go with the regular ones. You may just have a tad bit of filling leftover.
Chill in the refrigerator a few hours before serving. Optional: top with cherry or strawberry pie filling or drizzle with caramel sauce.
