Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix until crumbs are fully coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.
  5. Stir in sour cream, flour, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until combined and smooth.
  6. Pour the red velvet cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for one hour.
  2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  3. Once chilled, remove from the springform pan. Top with cream cheese frosting, chocolate shavings, or fresh fruit, if desired.
  4. Slice and serve.
