# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Spray nonstick or grease a 9-inch springform pan. Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter, press evenly on the pan bottom. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Let it cool down fully.
02 -
Blend the cream cheese and sugar until creamy and smooth. Mix eggs in one by one, then add vanilla and sour cream. Stir in sprinkles carefully—don’t stir too much.
03 -
Spread the filling on top of the cooled crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is a bit wobbly but mostly solid. Turn the oven off, crack the door open, and let it sit an hour.
04 -
Take it out of the oven, allow it to cool fully, then cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or leave it in overnight.
05 -
Before serving, add whipped cream and toss on some extra sprinkles if you'd like.
# Notes:
01 -
Letting the cheesecake chill overnight enhances the flavor and texture.

The center needs to wobble slightly when it's done baking.
