The yummiest Cheesecake ever.

My gf Ashley and her hubs invited us over for an amazing dinner, and this was my contribution to the meal.  I've been meaning to post this for a while now.  No pics, but I promise it is AMAZING!

*no water bath needed for this recipe*


Crust Ingredients
2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup softened butter
1/3 cup sugar

Blend thoroughly and press firmly against bottom and sides of a 8 or 9 inch spring form pan.  Bake at 350° for 10 min.


Filling Ingredients
4 packages (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Beat cream cheese until fluffy.  Add sugar and mix thoroughly.  Add eggs one at a time, blending completely.  Add lemon juice and vanilla.  Spread mixture into pan and bake in preheated 325° for 45 minutes.  After 45 minutes, turn oven off and let the cheesecake sit in a closed oven for 30 minutes.  Then, cool completely and refrigerate.  Top with pie filling or other topping.  It is fabulous plain as well!
