Recipe Introduction
This is the best cheesecake in the world! Hands down. Again, a Frugal
Gourmet recipe. Very rich.... don't even begin to think about calories and
fat grams... just enjoy. It's easy too!
List of Ingredients
New York Cheesecake
1 cup gahram cracker crumbs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup + 2 Tb. melted butter
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. cream cheese, broken into small pieces (2 8oz.)Recipe
Blend cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of butter, and 1/4 cup of melted butter and
press into the bottom of an 8"-9" ungreased springform pan. (I bake this in
a 350 oven for a few minutes just to let it set a bit, and let the sugar
carmelize a bit, end result is very yummy!)
Blend the sour cream, remaining sugar, eggs and vanilla in a food blender
for 1 minute. Add cream cheese and blend until smooth.
Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter through the top of the
blender and pour in cool springform pan.
Bake in lower third of a 325 oven for 45 minutes. After its baked, broil the
cheesecake just until it starts to show "attractive spots of brown."**
Refrigerate for 4 hours, or preferably overnight before cutting and serving.
if I'm feeling ambitious, I'll make my own strawberry topping. I don't
particularly care what the thing looks like, I just want to eat it!!!
