Ingredients

• For the crust:
• - 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• - ¼ cup granulated sugar
• - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the filling:
• - 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• - 1 cup sour cream
• - 1 cup granulated sugar
• - 4 large eggs
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• - ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• - ½ cup heavy cream
• For the topping:
• - 1 cup heavy cream
• - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to create an even crust.
4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream and sugar, and mix until well combined.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the flour and heavy cream, and mix until the filling is smooth and creamy.
7. Pour the filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggly.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
10. Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
11. Just before serving, prepare the topping by beating the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.
12. Spread the whipped cream over the chilled pie, and garnish with additional graham cracker crumbs if desired.
13. Slice and serve the rich cheese pie chilled. Enjoy!
