Cheesecake
This is the best cheesecake you'll ever taste!
- 28 oz. cream cheese
- 1 pt. sour cream (2 cups)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
8" springform pan with graham cracker crust - bake the crust 10 minutes. Beat cream cheese & sugar. Beat eggs in one at a time. Beat well. The secret is to fold in sour cream & vanilla. Do that next. Pour in pan. Bake at 375 deg. for 30 min. Turn off oven - leave cake in for 1 hr. Do not open oven door. Let come to room temperature and refridgerate over night. Use your favorite topping. I prefer 'Wilderness' Premium Raspberry.
