By norsegal8

Very easy to make. Just throw the filling ingredients into the blender then pour over the crust. Delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup melted butter, plus
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 lb cream cheese, broken into small pieces

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

1 Preheat oven to 350°

2 Mix together the cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and ¼ cup melted butter, and line the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch ungreased spring-form pan.

3 Blend sour cream, ½ cup sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a blender for 1 minute. Add the cream cheese. Blend until smooth.

4 Pour 2 tablespoons melted butter through the top of the machine. Blend and pour into the spring-form pan.

5 Bake in the lower third of a 350° oven for 45 minutes.

6 When baking is finished, turn oven on to broil. Broil the cheesecake until the top begins to show attractive spots of brown. Remove from oven.

7 Refrigerate for 4 hours, preferably overnight, before cutting and serving.
