Authentic NY Cheesecake
calories: about 200 calories per 2oz slice.
Pre heat oven to 325 degrees
1cup graham cracker crumbs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 cups sour cream
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 pound cream cheese, broken into small pieces
Blend the cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the 1/4 cup of melted butter, and line the bottom of an 9 or 9 inch ungreased springform pan. ( I line it with waxed or parchment paper so it's easy to remove off the pan when done.)
Blend the sour cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, the eggs and vanilla in a food blender for 1 minute. Add the cream cheese. Blend until smooth.
Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter thru the top of the machine while its blending.. Pour into the springform pan.
Bake in the lower third of a 325 degree oven for 45 minutes.
When the baking is finished, remove the cake from the oven & turn on the broiler. Broil the cake just until the top begins to show attractive spots of brown.
Refrigerate for 4 hours or preferably overnight, before cutting and serving.
This is NOT a low cal version. Eat small pieces, it's very rich!
