CAKES: Cheese Cake

Been making this cheesecake for 30 years (Wow! Am I THAT old? How'd that happen?)

3 eggs beaten
2 lbs. cream cheese - room temp.
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsps. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. almond extract
2 cups sour cream
(sometimes I throw in some grated lemon peel)

Make crust- recipe below.

Combine eggs, cream cheese, sugar, salt and extracts. Beat until smooth. Blend in sour cream.
Pour into crust and bake 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes (until edges get slightly brown and center is set - it's done in my oven in 50 minutes).

Take cheesecake out of the oven and immediately put in the refrigerator. Let chill at least 6 hours (I let it set overnight). When ready to eat, take sides off spring pan and enjoy!

Graham cracker crumb crust
--------------------------
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
4 1/2 tbsps. sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)

Combine all and pat into bottom and a about 1 inch up the sides of a 10 inch spring form pan.

Spread the word
