Cheesecake. Just say the word and I am there! I have been majorly craving cheesecake recently. Seriously, I just LOVE it! This recipe was passed to me from a friend who made it for one of our small group parties. Neither one of us can take full credit though...it comes from the real Queen of the South, Paula Deen. I modified it slightly for my liking and trust me; it is worth every step and calorie!
Paula Deen's Cheesecake
Crust: 1 1/2 Cups Crushed Graham Cracker Crumbs
4 Tbs Sugar
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
Filling: 3 Packages of Cream Cheese, Softened
1 Cup Sugar
5 Eggs
1 Tbs Vanilla
Topping: 1 1/2 Cups Sour Cream
4 Tbs Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
Mix crust and pat into 9" spring form pan. Mix filling & pour into crust and bake for one hour at 350.
Remove from oven and cool 10 minutes. Mix topping and pour over the baked cheesecake. Return to oven for 4 minutes. Let cake cool (completely) at room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
When I made this for Bferg's birthday I had a topping bar of crushed oreos, strawberries, chocolate & caramel sauce. Any combination works and it is even amazing plain.
Enjoy!
