~ Creamy Dreamy Cheesecake ~ image

This is the cheesecake my mom always made. So creamy good! One of my all time favorites. Feeds a lot too. I like the fact that this is baked in a cake pan and can lift it right out to cut. Garnish as desired. I usually make homemade fruit toppings, but tonight I used cherry preserves and whipped cream. It can be served with just...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUST
1 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1/4 c butter, melted
2 - 3 Tbsp sugar
FILLING
4 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 c sugar
1 c sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 eggs
SOUR CREAM TOPPING - SOMETIMES I USE AND SOMETIMES NOT
1 c sour cream
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with foil, extending over edge of pan. ( will use these to remove cheesecake once cool ) Mix crumbs, sugar and butter and press evenly into the bottom of pan. Set aside.
  • 2. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until well blended. Scrape sides of bowl a few times. ( I use my kitchen aid mixer with the paddle attachment.) Can use a regular mixer.
  • 3. Add the sour cream and beat well. Scraping sides of bowl. Turn mixer to low and beat in eggs one at a time, just until blended. Over beating will possibly cause cracking in cheesecake.
  • 4. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until the center of cake is almost set. ( 50 minutes if not using topping. )
  • 5. While baking, if using the sour cream topping, mix all ingredients until smooth and set aside. If you want a thicker layer of this topping I would make one of the recipe and another 1/2 batch.
  • 6. After 40 minutes or until center of cake is almost set, remove from oven and carefully spread on the sour cream mixture. Return to oven for 10 more minutes.
  • 7. Remove from oven and cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight is best. Remove cheesecake with extended foil, cut and garnish as desire..

This cheesecake was a bit too time-consuming to make, but it was worth it in the end. The filling was creamy and smooth, and the crust was perfectly crunchy.

This cheesecake was a bit too heavy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would try using a different type of cream cheese next time, maybe something a little lighter.

This cheesecake was a bit too tangy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would try using less lemon juice next time.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would try using a different type of flour next time, maybe something a little lighter.

I'm not a huge cheesecake fan, but this one changed my mind. It was so light and fluffy, and the flavor was amazing. I loved the graham cracker crust, too.
