Sallie's Cheesecake

From Sallie DuMond in Jackson, Wyoming:

This recipe orginally came from Connie or her girlfriend. This is the birthday cake my whole family asks for on their special day and throughout the year!

In a 9" pie plate or springform pan, grease pan lightly with butter.

12 Graham Crackers (ground fine with food processor or rolling pin).
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. melted butter
1/4 sugar

Mix together and press on the bottom of pan.

16 oz. cream cheese
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar

Beat until smooth and pour onto cracker crumb mixture. Bake @ 350 for 30 - 40 min. Cool overnight.

1 pint sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Mix and place over cooked portion of cake. Bake @ 475 for 6 minutes. Cool and refrigerate.

I put a paper towel over the top of the pan, then foil to refrigerate. If there is moisture, then it will not drip onto top of cake.

Eat plain or add fresh fruit of your choice.....maybe a raspberry drizzle.

Enjoy!
