Cheesecake and a crazy week.

Goodness! I realized yesterday that this post is long overdue!
The past week has been crazy! A close cousin of mine had a baby boy two weeks ago and then my best friend had a boy a couple days after, so last Thursday I made them both lasagna (and totally forgot to take pictures.)
Then, Saturday I made two cheesecakes (one for a festival at our parish and the other for us), cleaned the house, went to a bridal shower for a darling girl, and finished up some sewing. This week has been a little slower. (Thank goodness!)

Here is a delicious cheesecake recipe for you :) The texture is a little crumbly, which makes it a bit unique from the usually creamy cheesecake.

For the crust you need: 

2 C graham cracker crumbs
1/4 C butter
1/4 C sugar

For the cake you need: 

4- 8 oz packages cream cheese
6 eggs
2 C sugar
2 C sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

Mix crust ingredients together and press into the bottom of a 10" spring form pan.

Having all the cheesecake ingredients at room temperature, blend them together well. (It will look a little lumpy when you are done.) Pour over crust and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. Turn oven off and leave cheesecake in it for at least six hours or overnight so it does not crack. (No matter how tempting it is, DO NOT open the door or your cake may fall or crack in the center.)

As I do not have a light on my oven I did barely open the door and you can see what happened. :( Oh well, it was still delicious and I wasn't trying to win any prize I guess :)

 

 

Oh, and if you are in need of a good mixer, I highly advise you to invest in a Bosch! It is the best mixer I have ever owned in my life!

 Have a great rest of the week!
