This is one I modified from several recipes. I cannot to use a springform pan. I buy the ready-made graham cracker crust and use my filling in them. I find it easier to do and can transport them in the container the crust comes in.
Ingredients:
1 graham cracker pie crust, ready-made
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions:
1. Combine the sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixer for one minute. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix a few seconds longer.
2. Pour into ready-made pie crust ( I use the larger ones with the 2 extra servings) and bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes.
3. If you want to brown the top, turn on the broiler and watch it. If you look away, it will burn.
4. Cool for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight is better. Cut into thin slices. It is cheesecake after all.
5. We prefer it plain, but feel free to add the topping of your choice.
