crabCheesecake

Carol had this recipe from Marti. Carol says you can add kahlua or make other modifications. I'm thinking maybe Cointreau or almond flavoring

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 8-ounce packages cream cheese
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Beat eggs and 1 cup sugar with lemon juice. Add cream cheese and beat thoroughly. Pour into a spring form pan. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven, increase temperature to 475°F.

Mix sour cream, vanilla, 4 tablespoons sugar. Pour on top of cake. Bake 10 minutes longer.

Cool and chill in frig, overnight if possible.

Variations —

  • 4 ounces chocolate
  • strawberries with sugar
  • kahlua [instead of lemon juice or vanilla]
  • replace 1 package cream cheese with 1 cup ricotta
