Awesome cheesecake

16 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
16ouncesCream cheese
1pint(500 ml) sour cream
5Eggs
1cupSugar
3tablespoonsLemon juice
1teaspoonVanilla (or almond)

Directions

Cream the cream cheese, then add the ingredients in the order given- one at a time. Pour into a spring form pan on top of a graham wafer crust. Bake at 325 degree oven for one hour, then turn off the oven, do not open the door for one hour. If you have a self-cleaning oven, you will need to open the door just a little, and prop it open for the hour (I find a folded grocery bag is the right size). Remove from oven, and put the cake into the fridge (after it cools) for about 8 hours.

Top with fruit- cherry pie filling, fresh or frozen strawberries, etc., then with a dollop of whipped cream.
