Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your springform pan.

Combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and melted unsalted butter for the crust. Press into the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.

Beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth, add sugar, then incorporate eggs one by one, followed by sour cream and vanilla.

Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for 60 minutes until the center is set.

Let the cheesecake cool for about 1 hour, then chill it in the refrigerator overnight.

Before serving, spread the whipped cream on top and add festive sprinkles.
