If you like cheese cake you will love this one.

CRUST
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs rolled fine.
4 tablespoons of sugar.
8 table spoons of butter.

In a medium bowl thoroughly mix ingredients. Press firmly into a 9or 10 inch pan, I like to use a spring form pan, lining the bottom and sides; set aside and make filling.


FILLING
3 8- ounce packages softened cream cheese.
1cup sugar
3 eggs
3/4 teaspoon vanilla

In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese well. Add sugar a little at a time; add eggs one at a time; add vanilla. Combine thoroughly. Pour into the crust; fill to within 1 - 2 inches of top to allow room for topping. bake for 40 minutes at 375.



FIRST TOPPING

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Mix sour cream, sugar and vanilla. pour over the baked cheesecake and bake at 500 for 7 minutes. Allow to cool.

Drizzle topping over cheesecake.

THIRD TOPPING
