Italian Cheesecake
Ingredients:
4 pkg of cream cheese, softened to room temp (Don't use generic brand cream cheese, it does affect the texture)
4 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 container of sour cream
2 tblsp sugar
3 tblsp vanilla
1 box of graham cracker crumbs
Melted butter
First, butter the sides and bottom of a springform pan. Melt down some butter and add it to graham cracker crumbs....just enough butter to where the crumbs "stick together". Press the crumbs all along the bottom and sides of your springform pan.
Next, beat eggs, 1 cup sugar, and cream cheese together for 15 minutes. The secret to this cheesecake is the timing...no more and no less then 15 minutes. When done, pour this mixture into the springform pan and put into a preheated oven of 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Once again, the timing is very important, no more and no less.
Next, set your mixer on "whip" and mix together the 1 container of sour cream, the 2 tblsp of sugar and the 3 tblsp of vanilla. Mix for exactly 10 minutes. Gently pour this on top of the cheesecake, then bake in a 425 degree oven for 5 minutes. Put in fridge overnight. Enjoy!
