Adapted from Philly recipe
List of Ingredients
Crust:
2 cups of cookie/graham cracker crumbs
6 T butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
Cheesecake:
2 pkgs cream cheese (8 oz each), softened to room temp
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 325.
Mix crumbs, butter and sugar together, then press into a 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Refrigerate crust while you make the filling.
In a food processor or mixing bowl, process/beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until creamy and well blended. Add in the sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt, beating/pulsing just until well blended.
Pour into the prepared crust, place the pie pan on a baking sheet (for stability), and bake at 325 for 40 minutes. The center should still jiggle slightly.
Cool to room temp on a rack, then refrigerate several hours until well chilled.

-Top with (after baking and cooling) any kind of pie filling or preserves
-Stir mini chocolate chips or toffee chips into the batter before baking
-Top with drizzled melted chocolate after baking and cooling
-Stir broken Oreo cookies into the batter before baking
-After baking and cooling, top with cut up Snickers, caramel and chocolate ice cream topping
