Cheesecake With Berry Topping

I love cheesecake. I mean I Really LOVE cheesecake! This is the dessert that I would look forward to as a child. It all starts with the buttery homemade graham cracker crust. Then the two different layers of cheesecakey goodness. Top it all off with your favorite fruit topping. Oh man. Heaven in a pan!

Crust
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (one package does the trick)
1/2 cup melted butter

Stir these all together, then squish into the bottom of your pan.

Cheesecake
1 lb cream cheese at room temperature (2 of those 8oz packages)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix these ingredients until smooth.  Pour over the graham cracker crust.  Bake at 375*f for 30 minutes or until top is starting to brown.  Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.

Cheesecake Topping
2 cups sour cream (16oz)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

After the cheesecake has had it's 15 minutes of cool down, pour this topping over the whole cheesecake.  Bake at 475*f for 10 minutes.

Cool the cheesecake completely before serving.  Top it with your favorite fruit, chocolate sauce, or just eat it plain!!

Fantastic!
