Original Recipe Yield 1 - 8 inch springform pan
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 7/8 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap the outside of an 8 inch springform pan with foil. Generously butter the inside of pan and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, then shake out excess.
  2. In a large bowl, Beat cream cheese and sugar on low speed until smooth. Beat in heavy cream, sour cream and half-and-half. Add vanilla and beat in the eggs one at a time. Pour filling into prepared pan. Wrap bottom of the pan on aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in.
