Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (165°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
