Best of The
Best Cheesecake
|
Ingredients: 1/4
cup unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 4 large
egg whites 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 4
large egg yolks.
Directions: Preheat oven to
375°F. Melt the butter and combine with graham cracker
crumbs. Cover the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with
this graham cracker crust and set aside. Beat egg
whites until stiff; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl,
combine cream cheese, egg yolks, 3/4 of cup sugar and
vanilla. Beat until smooth. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
Gently transfer to the prepared springform pan. Bake for 40
to 50 minutes or until center is almost set. A small area in
the center may still appear wet. This will set as
the cheesecake cools.
Just before it is finished
cooking, beat together sour cream and remaining 1/4 cup
sugar until smooth. Remove cheesecake from the oven
and increase temperature to 425°F and pour sour
cream mixture evenly on top. Return cheesecake to oven for 5
to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely
before removing it from the pan.
