Instructions
- Heat the oven to 325°F.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium-low speed until smooth, scraping the bowl.
- Beat in the sour cream, vanilla, and salt, then the eggs one at a time, on low speed just until blended. Don't overbeat.
- Pour into the crust.
- Bake until the edge is set and the center still wobbles slightly, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Cool on a rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 4 hours.
Tips
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
- Storage: Refrigerate, covered, for up to 4 days.
