No Name Cheesecake

NOT crystal's super secret recipe

Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 6 T. butter
  • 2 c. crushed Nilla wafers
  • 1/8 c. sugar
  • Filling:
  • 4 8oz pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 c. sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • Topping:
  • 2 c. sour cream, about 24 oz.
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 t. vanilla extract
  • Seeds of 1 vanilla bean (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Melt butter and combine with Nilla wafers and sugar until well mixed. Press mixture into the bottom and a little up the sides of a lightly sprayed 10" spring form pan.
  3. Bake crust for 5 minutes while mixing the filling.
  4. Combine cream cheese and sugar and beat for 2 minutes. Add salt and blend. Add eggs, one at a time just until blended. Don't over mix the eggs. If you whip too much air into the batter, the cheesecake will rise like a soufflé. Pour filling into pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Use a water bath to avoid cracks.
  5. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes while preparing topping. Combine sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Spread evenly over top of cheesecake and return to oven for 8-10 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and place in refrigerator immediately.
