INGREDIENTSCRUST:

• 1 1/4 cups nilla wafers
• 5 tbsp butter
• 5 tbsp sugar

• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS
CRUST:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine crust ingredients and mix well. Remove any large pieces of nilla wafer. They will make it hard to press crust into pan.
• Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
• Bake crust for 10 minutes then remove and set aside.

FILLING:

• Reduce oven to 300 degrees.
• In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar and flour with an electric mixer (Use low speed to keep less air from getting into the batter, which can cause cracks).
• Add the sour cream, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
• Pour the filling into the pan with the crust. Drop onto the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
• Bake for 1 hour. Turn off heat and leave in oven with door closed for 30 minutes or until set.
• Remove from oven and chill.
