My New York Cheese Cake Recipe

Graham cracker crust:
1/2 package of graham cracker crumbs mixed with just enough melted butter to moisten. Press into bottom of angel food cake pan about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.

4 8 ounce packages of Philadelphia cream cheese (softened-I usually get to room tempature before mixing)
2 small tubs of sour cream
5 eggs
2 cups of sugar
Vanilla extract

1) Preheat oven to 350. With a mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Then add vanilla, eggs, sour cream and sugar and mix until small bubles appear. The sequence is important. Add each ingredient mix, then add the next.
2) Pour into spring form pan with graham cracker crust.
3) Bake at 350 for 1 hour. At this point, turn oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 2 additional hours. (DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN.)
4) Remove and allow to cool to room temperature then refrigerate for serving.
