So the theme for this week is definitely desserts, and one of my favorite desserts I have been making for YEARS is a cheesecake that is simple, amazingly delicious, and the perfect size as it bakes in a pie dish. How is a cheesecake recipe easy? Well if you have a food processor, you can make it quick! Here is the recipe:
KNUDSEN CREAM CHEESE PIE
4 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 Graham Cracker Crust (recipe follows)
Sour Cream Topping (recipe follows)
Make Graham Cracker crust below, THEN:
In food processor: blend cream cheese, whip and combine with the eggs, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice; beat until light and frothy. Pour into graham cracker crust.
Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F) for 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes, then pour topping over pie. Return to oven and bake 10 minutes longer.
Place refrigerator at least 5 hours before serving.
GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST
12 to 14 graham crackers
1/4 cup butter, melted
In food processor, blend graham crackers and melted butter and chop until fine crumbs. Pat crumbs in a 9-inch pie plate and bake at 350 for 10 minutes
SOUR CREAM TOPPING
1 cup sour cream
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Blend sour cream with sugar and vanilla.
Makes 10-12 servings
Don't forget to add any fruit you want, or eat it plain which is my preference! :)
