CHERIE'S CHEESECAKE 
This cheesecake always goes fast at any party. When making it do not use any low-fat ingredients, it will not set right. Also I recommend using Philadelphia cream cheese and not the store brand. It's much creamier that way.

CRUST:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Melt 1 stick of butter in 9x13-inch pan (do not grease). Mix dry ingredients together and add to melted butter, mix together and pat on bottom of pan.

FILLING:

4 (8 oz. ea.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 large eggs

Cream together cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl (at low speed). Add vanilla and eggs. Mix until creamy and pour over crumbs.

Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes.

Remove from oven - center will be shaky. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then prepare topping.

TOPPING:

2 cups dairy sour cream (1 pint)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix together and pour over cheesecake. Put back in oven and bake at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes more.

Enjoy!
