6 (8 oz.) packages of Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese
6 eggs
1 pint of sour cream
1¾ cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla


Recipe



Preheat oven to 400 F (375 if you know your oven tends to run hot)

Pour into springform pan.

Place springform pan into larger roasting pan into which you have put about 1" of hot (or boiling) water.

Bake on lowest rack in oven for 1 hour.

Remove springform pan from larger pan with water and cool cheesecake on a rack at room temperature.

Refrigerate at least 8 hours (preferably overnight).
