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!
It was amazing!! I will be making this for Thanksgiving :)
