CheesecakeThis cheesecake is a wonderful smooth and creamy cheesecake. Make this simple recipe and add a spoonful of sauce on top of each serving right before serving. Sauces such as strawberry, blueberry, raspberry or key lime sauce to make it even more decadent. Or simply drizzle a chocolate sauce on top.

Ingredients:

  • 4  8 oz pkgs of cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 1 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

    * Note: All of the above ingredients should be at room temperature prior to preparing.

    Graham Cracker Crust:
  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), melted

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9" springform pan.
  3. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter.
  4. Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9" springform pan forming a bottom crust.
  5. Beat the cream cheese until creamy and all lumps have disappeared.
  6. Gradually add sugar until creamy, beating on low.
  7. Add milk.
  8. Add eggs one at a time, until combined after each egg.
  9. Add sour cream, flour, vanilla and lemon juice until well combined.
  10. Pour ingredients on top of graham cracker crust in springform pan.
  11. Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes. Turn oven off and allow the cheesecake to remain in the oven for  3 to 4 hours, until the oven has cooled completely.
  12. Chill and remove 15 minutes from refrigerator prior to serving.

Comments:

- Be sure to mix all ingredients on low to avoid over mixing. This will help to prevent the top of the cheesecake from cracking.

- You can use a 10" springform pan also. 

- You may also add a 1/2 cup of finely chopped nuts to the graham cracker mixture such as almonds, pecans and walnuts, or a combination of all.
