for the crust
- 1 1/4 cup of gram cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 5 tablespoons of melted butter
for the filling
- 3 packages of 8oz cream cheese at room temp. (Philadelphia recommended)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 pint (16oz) of sour cream
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
What you do
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
- Mix the crust ingredients together
- Press the gram cracker crust into a spring form pan
- Mix the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla together until well combined
- Pour mixture into the crust
- Bake for 35 mins. at 350 degrees
- Meanwhile mix sour cream sugar and vanilla
- After the 35 mis. remove the cheese cake from the oven and spread the sour cream mixture over the top, starting from the edges and working your way in
- Raise oven temperature to 375 degrees
- Put back in oven for another 15 mins.
- When done, turn the oven off and open the oven door to allow the cheese cake to slowly cook (prevents cracking)
- Top with fresh berries, or nothing at all
- Once cheese cake is room temperature, put in the refrigerator… best if refrigerated overnight
Tips & tricks
- When spreading the sour cream top, start from the edges and work your way in, making it a tad thicker in the middle than on the edges (this will help prevent cracking)
