We had some friends over for dinner and she offered to make this for us. Little did I know she was bringing a favorite family recipe. I love that! I typically love all cheesecake but my cravings come and go as it can be rather rich and thick. This was the most delicious cheesecake I've had in a long time. Perfect consistency and flavor! And, according to them, it tastes best made the day before serving.
Crust:
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
Filling:
8 oz. package softened cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
dash of salt
2 eggs
Topping:
1 cup sour cream
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Combine graham crackers and sugar. Add melted butter and press into pie plate up sides.
Filling- beat cream cheese until fluffy, gradually blend in sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Add eggs one at a time. Put filling into crust and bake at 325 degrees until set- 35 mins. Combine topping, spoon over top of pie. Bake 10 more mins. Cool several hours before serving. (According to our friends, this tastes best when made the day before serving).
