So, I was asked to do a cheesecake recipe. I did one, and then, realized, oops, I was supposed to take pictures as I did it. So, I have a great recipe for a super creamy, yummy, cheesecake, which, I will leave the recipe here, but I'll have to make it again, in order to take picture. My hips will not be thanking me for this one. (Yes, I took a bite right before I took the picture. I have no patience, it was so good.)
2 sleeves of graham crackers, crushed
4 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
4 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese
1 1/2 cups of white sugar
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup flour
2 cups sour cream
1 cup brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9 inch springform, or spray the heck out of it with pam spray for baking, with the flour added( I love that stuff). Mix graham crackers with butter and sugar. I did this all in my food processor. I put the graham crackers in, made the crumbs, then tossed in the sugar and melted butter, and pulsed it until it was all combined. Once that is done, press it in the bottom of the pan and up the sides. I had enough to go almost all the way up the sides.
Now, for the yummy part. Mix cream cheese and sugar until all creamy and smooth. Then add in sour cream and vanilla. Once this is all combined, add in the eggs one at time, just until incorporated. At this point, yo don't want to overmix. Add in the flour, and once again, go for creamy. Once this is all nice and done, pour it gently into the pan with the graham crackers, because you don't want them coming off the sides of the pan. Put this into the oven for an hour, or until a knife inserted comes out mostly clean. Once that happens, and yes, the cheesecake should be coming almost out of the pan, mix the brown sugar and sour cream together. Spread it carefully over the top of the cheesecake(this hides the cracks). Turn the oven off. Leave the cheese cake in the oven for the next hour. At this point, I put it on the counter for an hour, and then into the fridge, because I wanted it to hurry up and set, so I could eat it.
It was good. The top is slightly tan in color, due to the brown sugar.
Try it. It's wonderful. It's to die for. It's not dense like some cheesecakes, but its not fluffy. It is incredibly creamy.
