Filling:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
2. Add in the sour cream and continue beating until well combined.

2. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about an hour to cool gradually.
3. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
