Cheesecake

Before I decided to post this cheesecake recipe, I tried to discover a little about the history of cheesecake. I was unable to find anything. The closest I came was a goat cheese cake that people ate in Medeival times. Anyway, this is delicious. It is just a trumped recipe derived from cream cheese packets, but the extras give it incredible taste and of course richness. This is definitely not low calorie in any way and I would not try to make it low fat/low cal.

Cheesecake

Crust

1 1/2 craham cracker crumbs

1/4 c sugar

51/2 tbsp butter

Filling

1 c sugar

2 8 ounce packages cream cheese (softened)

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 pint sour cream

Use two racks to bake this, one rack in center and one on the bottom. Place a small pan of water on the lowest rack. Heat oven to 350.

Mix crumbs, 1/4 c sugar, and butter in a bowl. Press mixture into a large pan. (Large pie plate, 10" springform) Cream cream cheese and one cup sugar. Add eggs one at a time mixing between each. Mix in vanilla. Fold in sour cream. Pour into pan. (Slowly, because there may be extra) Put on center oven rack. Bake 30-40 minutes. (40 for a firmer cake) Turn off oven, but leave cheesecake in, withoyt opening the door for one hour. Cool. Chill for a least 8 hours. Yum!
