Cheesecake – Notice three layers.

Chris is famous for this cheesecake. People always ask her to make it for them. I actually got the recipe from a client I sold cookware to years ago. (Joe)

Instructions:

There are three steps to make this simple and amazing cheesecake.

  1. Place the graham crackers in on the bottom of a spring form pan padded tight with your hand.
  2. Mix the cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla really good for a couple minutes. Pour that mix over the graham cracker crust. Bake it in the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Take it out and let it cool on a cooling rack for 30 minutes.
  3. Now, make the sour cream topping, pour that on top, and put it back in the oven at 475 degrees for 10 minutes. After that, let it cool, cover it with tin foil, and put it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
