~ Delicious Cheesecake ~
1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter softened
~Filling~
2--8 oz bars of cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
2 T cornstarch
1 cup granulated sugar
2 T butter softened
1 t vanilla extract
~Topping~
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375F.
For crust combine crumbs, sugar and butter and mix well.
Press firmly into 9" pie pan covering bottom only. Bake
for 8 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown.
Reduce oven to 350F. For filling, combine cheese, sour
cream, cornstarch, and sugar in bowl of mixer. Mix
until sugar has dissolved. Add the butter and vanilla
and blend until smooth. Be careful not to over mix,
or the filling will become too fluffy and will crack
when cooling. Pour the filling over the crust. Bake
for 30 - 35 minutes. Cool 1 hour away from drafts.
For topping, mix sour cream and powdered sugar.
Spread mixture over top of cooled cheesecake. Chill
at least 8 hours before serving in order to let the
flavors blend.
