As my way of giving thanks for my friends at DAR, I am sharing my closely guarded and never-before revealed "secret recipe" for the smoothest cheescake on Earth. I can't take credit for the recipe itself as someone gave me this recipe when I was in college, but it is positively the most delicious I have ever tried despite (or because of) its deceptive simplicity. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to a great bunch of people!

The Smoothest Cheesecake On Earth

Crust:


1 package graham crackers rolled into crumbs (makes about 1½ cups)
¼ cup sugar
5 tablespoons melted butter

Filling:

2 8-ounce packages cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
2 eggs
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping:

1 cup sour cream
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 375° F.
Mix crust ingredients and pat firmly into the bottom and 1/3 of the way up the sides of a 9" spring form pan.
Beat filling ingredients with a rotary beater or electric mixer until satiny and pour into crust.
(This marks the difference between a good cheesecake and a great one: don't stop mixing before it gets 100% smooth and satiny. Patience is the key - absolutely no clumps, however minute, is the goal.)
Bake 20 minutes, remove from oven, and cool 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, raise oven to 475° F.
Blend topping ingredients and spread gently over cheese filling.
Return pie to oven and bake 10 minutes longer.
Cool in pan to room temperature, then cover with foil and chill 10-12 hours before serving.
