Serves 8-10
1 Tablespoon Butter
3/4 cup Graham cracker crumbs
1 cup Sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons Cornstarch
1 1/2 pound cream cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup Cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Pre-heat the oven to 350. Butter a medium spring-form pan.
Press the graham cracker crumbs into the bottom. Place in
the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Whip the cream cheese in a
mixer. With the mixture running slowly, sprinkle in the
sugar and cornstarch, then add in the eggs and vanilla.
Slowly add the cream until all ingredients are well mixed.
Pour into the spring-form pan. Place on a cookie sheet and
bake for 40-45 minutes (or until the top begins to brown
and the cake is firm). Cool at room temperature.
Refrigerate. Serve well chilled.
