CHEATER'S NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE

This is one I modified from several recipes. I cannot to use a springform pan. I buy the ready-made graham cracker crust and use my filling in them. I find it easier to do and can transport them in the container the crust comes in.

Time 55m

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 graham cracker pie crust, ready-made
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

Combine the sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixer for one minute. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix a few seconds longer.
Pour into ready-made pie crust ( I use the larger ones with the 2 extra servings) and bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes.
If you want to brown the top, turn on the broiler and watch it. If you look away, it will burn.
Cool for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight is better. Cut into thin slices. It is cheesecake after all.
We prefer it plain, but feel free to add the topping of your choice.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c white sugar
1 c sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg cheesecake instant pudding (1 oz size)
8 oz cool whip
1 graham cracker pie crust

Steps:

1. Beat the sugar into the softened cream cheese. Then add the sour cream and vanilla, beat until smooth.
2. Sprinkle the cheesecake pudding mix into the bowl and beat well with the sour cream mixture. (NOTE: I used sugar free pudding mix.)
3. Fold in the Cool Whip until well incoporated into the mixture and pour into prepared 8 inch graham cracker pie crust.
4. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Serve it with a little raspberry sauce, chocolate sauce or cherry pie filling. Fresh strawberries are also a tasty topping. I intend to try this with vanilla, chocolate and white chocolate pudding mixes eventually.

Tips:

Use a springform pan to make removal of the cheesecake easier.
Be sure to line the springform pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
Garnish the cheesecake with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings before serving.
Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
