Crust Preparation

Begin by mixing crushed graham crackers (or your choice of biscuits) with sugar and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan, ensuring an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until set. Allow to cool while you prepare the filling.

Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until well incorporated. Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Baking the Cheesecake

Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 55 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door closed for 1 hour. Remove from the oven, let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Finishing Touches

Once chilled, the cheesecake can be served plain or with a choice of toppings. Whipped cream or a sour cream topping are popular options. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake before removing the outer ring. Slice and serve on individual plates.
