Blend the cream cheese and sugar in a big bowl until it's velvety smooth. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix it together.

Bake it for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges solidify while the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the heat and let it sit in the oven for an extra hour.

Take the cheesecake out and let it cool fully at room temperature. Then place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
