Cheese Cake Reciepe

Here is the recipe I make...they always turn out great. I do bake them directly in the water bath - wrap the pan in the alu foil (from the bottom up), put it in the bigger pan and pour boiling water into the bigger pan.

The other important thing - make sure all your ingredients are room temperature.

2 x cream cheese (8 oz pack)
1 pint sour cream
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
graham crust (I make mine with 2 cups crumbs, 1/4 - 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 tsp cinnamon - melt butter and pour over crumbs and cinnamon. Push into the pan bottom and sides (about 1"). Leave in the fridge for about 5 min while making the filling).

Mix cream cheese until smooth, add eggs, one at the time until incorporated (do not overmix) add sugar little by little and then sour cream just until incorporated.

Bake at 325 for 45 minutes. It will look undone, but it will set as it stands. Leave it in the bigger pan (in the water) for 30 min after taking out of the oven, and then straight into the fridge.

Then you can add some fruit filling on top. So Yummy. Let me know if you like this one.
