CHEATER'S NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE

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.

Time 55m

Yield 8 slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • If you want to brown the top, turn on the broiler and watch it. If you look away, it will burn.
  • Cool for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight is better. Cut into thin slices. It is cheesecake after all.
  • We prefer it plain, but feel free to add the topping of your choice.

A friend of mine gave me a version of this recipe. I added the pudding mix to it to solve a problem with it setting up properly. The end result is so delicious and easy peasy to make.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c white sugar
1 c sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pkg cheesecake instant pudding (1 oz size)
8 oz cool whip
1 graham cracker pie crust

Steps:

  • 1. Beat the sugar into the softened cream cheese. Then add the sour cream and vanilla, beat until smooth.
  • 2. Sprinkle the cheesecake pudding mix into the bowl and beat well with the sour cream mixture. (NOTE: I used sugar free pudding mix.)
  • 3. Fold in the Cool Whip until well incoporated into the mixture and pour into prepared 8 inch graham cracker pie crust.
  • 4. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Serve it with a little raspberry sauce, chocolate sauce or cherry pie filling. Fresh strawberries are also a tasty topping. I intend to try this with vanilla, chocolate and white chocolate pudding mixes eventually.
