  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  5. Mix in sour cream, then beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla.
  6. Pour the batter over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining graham mixture evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes until center is slightly jiggly. Let cool in oven with the door cracked for 1 hour.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Garnish with fresh berries before serving.
