This is one of my hubby's favorites. I've used this recipe so many times the card is hard to read. I don't recall where I got it, but glad I did. We like this either plain or with strawberries and their juices poured over it.
Ingredients
- Crust: shopping list
- 14 rectangular graham crackers shopping list
- 3 Tbsp. sugar shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon shopping list
- 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter at room temperature shopping list
- Filling: shopping list
- 4 (8oz) packages cream cheese at room temperature shopping list
- 1-1/4 C. sugar shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (I have used the bottled kind before and it turned out fine) shopping list
- 1 tsp. vanilla shopping list
How to make it
- To prepare the crust, place the graham crackers in a large food storage bag. Finely crush with a rolling pin.
- Place in a bowl, and add the sugar & cinnamon, stir to mix well.
- add butter until well blended.
- Scatter crumbs over the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
- Cover with plastic wrap and press evenly over the bottom & up the sides of the pan.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Filling:
- Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until well blended & smooth.
- Gradually beat in sugar until well blended.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add lemon juice & vanilla; beat until well blended.
- Pour cheese mixture evenly into crust lined pan.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 50 minutes or until center is just set. (it will be a little jiggly)
- Remove pan from oven to a wire rack to cool completely.
- **My cheesecake center tends to drop when I do this, so what I'll do is shut the oven off and pull the door open a little. This tends to help it from dropping.**
- Refrigerate for at least 12 hours or over night.
- To serve, remove side of pan and cut into wedges.
- Eat plain or drizzle your favorite fruit and it's juices over the top.

Very fine recipe my dear, a well liked version used often in this house, especially when the strawberry festival rolls into town. I like the lemon/strawberry, cream cheese combination best, but I wouldn't turn down a piece of blueberry topped either...more
