Ingredients
  

  • 15 Graham crackers or any type of sweet cracker (about 1½ cup (12 oz. cracker crumbs))
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2-4 tbsp white granulated sugar
  • ¼-½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Butter to grease baking pan
  • 1 cup 8 oz sour cream
  • ¼ cup 4 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 4 8 oz packages cream cheese, at room temperature
  • cup 300 gr white granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup 180 ml whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • Boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven at 350ºF (180ºC).
  • Place crackers in a resealable bag, seal the bag and crush them with a rolling pin or bottle until they resemble sand. You can also crush them in a food processor.
  • Place the crumbs in a medium bowl and add the melted butter, white sugar and ground cinnamon, mix well. Grease a 9 inch (23 cm) springform pan with butter, pour in the crumbs and press them well with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a flat cup. Set it aside.
  • In a small bowl mix the sour cream, all purpose flour and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl mix the cream cheese and white sugar with a wooden spoon or spatula until they're creamy. Add the whole milk and then add the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate them. Finally add the sour cream and mix to incorporate.
  • Cover the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil to keep water from seeping in and pour in the batter. Place the pan inside a larger pan. Pour enough boiling water inside the larger pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the smaller baking pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour, turn off the oven and let it cool completely inside the oven without opening it. About 5-6 hours.
  • Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight. Serve alone or with strawberry sauce.
