Sara Lee Original Cream Cheesecake*- Live Oak Recipe Swap

Ingredients:

Crust:

    1/2 cup fine Graham cracker crumbs
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup butter, softened

(  I bought premade crust)


Filling:


    16 ounces cream cheese
    1 cup sour cream
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 tablespoons butter, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Topping:

    3/4 cup sour cream

    1/4 cup confectioners' sugar


Directions:

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine Graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter and mix well. Press the mixture firmly into an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Press flat onto bottom only.

Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges are slightly brown.
Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F for the filling.

Combine cream cheese, sour cream, cornstarch and sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Mix until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the butter and vanilla extract and blend until smooth, being careful not to over-mix or the filling will become too fluffy and will crack when cooling. Pour the filling over the crust.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.

Cool for 1 hour.

Mix the sour cream and confectioners' sugar. Spread the mixture over the top of the cooled cheesecake.


Chill or freeze until ready to eat.
