Ingredients

  • 1 sleeve of graham crackers (I used cinnamon storebrand)
  • 6 tbsp of butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp of sugar
  • 2 1/2 lbs. (5 packages) of cream cheese, softened to room temp.
  • 1/8 tsp of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of real vanilla extract

  • 2 egg yolks


Directions

  1. Line a nine inch spring form pan with foil.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Finely crush the sleeve of graham crackers.
  4. I used a rolling pin and resealable bag method, or you can use a food processor.
  5. Mix with the sugar and 5 1/2 tbsp of the butter with a fork until crumbly. (reserve the remaining butter for brushing the springform pan)
  6. Press the crumbs in the bottom of the prepared pan, bake for 13 minutes, remove to rack to cool while you prepare the filling.
  7. Brush sides of spring form pan with remaining melted butter generously after the crust has cooled.
  8. (Cook's Illustrated used a stand mixer with paddle attachment; I have a portable mixer, so I used it)
  9. Turn oven up to 500 degrees
  10. In a large bowl, Beat the cream cheese for about 2 minutes, to get out most of the big lumps with the salt, add the sugar in thirds, beat after each addition. Scrape down the sides. About one minute each addition.
  11. Add the sour cream, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix well.
  12. Add the eggs two at a time, beating well after each addition, including the two extra egg yolks.
  13. Pour into cooled crust and place on a lipped baking sheet in case there is spillover.
