Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds (1.1 kg) cream cheese, at room temperature (about 5 cups)
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar (about 7 ounces or 0.4 pounds)
3/4 cup (180 g) sour cream, at room temperature (about 6 ounces or 0.4 pounds)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (about 1.5 ounces or 0.1 pounds)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly scrambled

Flavor options:
1 teaspoons all natural lemon flavor
1 teaspoons all natural Lime Flavor
1 teaspoons Raspberry Flavor
1 teaspoons Coconut Flavor

For the crust:
1 1/2 cups (150 g) graham cracker crumbs (about 5 ounces or 0.3 pounds)
6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted (about 2.5 ounces or 0.2 pounds)
2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar (about 0.9 ounces or 0.1 pounds)

Instructions for the cheesecake recipe, starting from step 1:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add the sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt, beating until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs one at a time, beating until just combined after each addition.

If using any flavor options, add them to the filling mixture and stir until well combined.

Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Bake the cheesecake for 60-70 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 60 minutes. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking as it cools.

After 60 minutes, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes on top of the stove. Then, run a knife around the inside of the springform pan to loosen the crust from the sides.

Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Once chilled, slice and serve the cheesecake. You can top it with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or your favorite cheesecake toppings. Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
