Cheese Cake

Cheesecake is my favorite dessert, so I thought I'd share my recipe with you!

New York Style Cheese Cake

The Frugal Gourmet

1c. Graham cracker crumbs

3/4c. Sugar

1/2c. plus 2TBS melted butter

1 1/2c. sour cream

2eggs

2tsp. Vanilla

1lb. cream cheese broken into small pieces

Blend cracker crumbs, 1/4c. sugar and 1/4c. melted butter together. Press into a 8-or9-inch greased spring form pan. I start on the bottom of the pan first and work my way up the sides of the pan.

Blend sour cream, 1/2c. sugar, eggs and vanilla in a food blender for 1min. Add the cream cheese. Blend until smooth. Pour in the 2TBS of melted butter.

Pour in the spring form pan.

Bake in the lower third of a 325 oven for 45min.

Refrigerate for 4hrs. preferably over night, before cutting and serving.

We put canned cherries on it sometimes. But my favorite is with canned blueberries!!

Note: I double the crust ingredients since I make sides on the cheesecake. The recipes calls for just making a bottom.

Enjoy!!
