Time 3h45m

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
6 to 8 tablespoons melted butter
1 pound cottage cheese
1 pint sour cream
8 ounce package softened cream cheese
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling, optional or fresh sliced fresh strawberries or blueberries to serve with cake

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Butter a 12 inch springform pan. Mix the pulverized graham crackers, sugar and melted butter and pat this dough into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until set, remove and cool before filling.
  • Raise the temperature to 350 degrees. With an electric mixer beat the cottage cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, flour and vanilla. Beat for 10 minutes; batter will be very thin. Pour over crust and bake for 40 minutes. Turn off oven but leave cake in for an additional 30 minutes. Do not open oven door.
  • Remove cake from oven then cool cake for 2 hours. When cool, run a thin metal spatula around edge of cake. Loosen and remove sides of springform pan. Note that, when cooling, cheesecake will develop a large crack across the top.
  • Slide cake onto plate. If you wish, top with pie filling or serve a wedge of cake with fresh berries.

This cheesecake is a great make-ahead dessert. I love that I can make it a day or two in advance and it still tastes just as good.

I'm not a fan of cheesecake, but this one was actually really good. The crust was the perfect balance of crumbly and chewy and the filling was creamy and smooth.

This cheesecake is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still pretty good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cheesecake came out cracked. It still tasted good, though.

I think I overbaked the cheesecake because it was a little dry. But it still tasted good.

This cheesecake was a hit at my last dinner party! The crust was perfectly graham crackery and the filling was creamy and smooth. I used a springform pan and had no problems with leakage.
