New York Style Sour Cream Topped Cheesecake
New York Style Sour Cream Topped Cheesecake
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
2 tsp. vanilla, divided
1 container (16 oz.) sour cream, divided
4 eggs
2 cups berries for topping
HEAT oven to 325°F. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends extending over sides of pan. Mix crumbs, butter and 2 Tbsp. sugar; press firmly onto bottom of pan.*
BEAT cream cheese, 1 cup of remaining sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add 1 cup sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each just until blended. Pour over crust.
BAKE 40 min. or until center is almost set. Mix remaining sour cream, sugar and vanilla; carefully spread over cheesecake. Bake 10 min. Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours or over night. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan just before serving; top with berries.

This recipe is from the KitchenAid mixer recipe book.

Gods, that sounds good. Do you suppose that one could eliminate the graham cracker crumbs? Or substitute something like Nilla Wafers? I don't much care for graham crackers.

LOVELIEST of trees, the cherry now / Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride / Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten, / Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score, / It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom / Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go / To see the cherry hung with snow.

Nilla wafers would probably work. I used finely ground Oreo's.

I use lemon flavored wafers for a crust and key lime pie filling for a topping. It makes a very nice combination. IMO key lime is an otherwise forgettable flavor, but I have ten cans of the stuff to use up.
For any other kind of cheese cake I use plain shortbread cookie crumbs, Keebler brand. Crush ten cookies, melt about six Tbsps of butter, and mix. No additional sugar. I am still guessing at how much butter to use. A whole stick is too much liquid and I have to chill it before I fill it.
ETA: Well duh! I just figured out what I did wrong. I was only supposed to use half a stick of butter!
Hey, I'm smart, but I never claimed to be experienced!
