Cheesecake Anybody??

I   LOVE  Cheesecake! 

And this is another really simple recipe! 

It's nice because it's pretty quick and is a nice and fancy dessert to bring to any get together!

So.... Here it goes!

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs (from a box)

1/2 cup of sugar

5 tbs. of butter (melted)

For the Filling:

2- 8oz. packages of original cream cheese

1/2 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of brown sugar

Just a pinch or two of salt

1 3/4 tsp. of vanilla extract

2 eggs

Instructions: 

Mix up graham cracker crumbs, the sugar, and the butter, and press it into a dish- whichever you prefer. Bake for 5-7 min. at 350 F. Set aside to cool.

For the filling  mix the cream cheese, sugars, salt, and vanilla, and then gradually add in the eggs- Pour into your dish.

Bake at 350 F for 35-45 min. Check it occasionally and use a toothpick to stick it in slanted in the side so you don't leave a hole, if it's still gooey leave it in longer, and check the top for browning. It's okay if it jiggles a little in the center but if it jiggles a lot, pop it back into the oven. 

Once it's done chill it for at least 4 hours!

*Optional Topping: I like to whip up some whipping cream and sugar to make some homemade whipped cream. Play it by taste to add sugar to your liking and don't over whip it, just until light and fluffy.... and Delicious :)
