And now for the free Recipe from my latest book The Devil's Own...
Golden Girls Cheesecake

(This recipe comes from George Geary, author of The Cheesecake Bible. You may also be familiar with this as being the cheesecake that starred in many episodes of The Golden Girls.)

Chilling the cake overnight is my favorite way to go. 
I hope you love this recipe as much as my family does!

Crust

1/3 pound graham crackers, crushed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

2 pounds cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Topping

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Prepare the crust: Mix the graham crackers and the melted butter. Press into a cheesecake pan and freeze.

Prepare the filling: Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at at time while mixing. Add the lemon juice and vanilla and blend well. Pour batter into frozen cheesecake bottom. Place it in the oven and bake until the top starts to pull away from the sides and still looks a bit loose in the center, about 35 to 40 minutes. It will look like it is puffed up. Take the cheesecake our fo the oven (do not turn the oven off) and set it on a rack for 10 minutes. This will cause the cake to sink slightly, which is normal.

Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla. After the cheesecake has cooled for 10 minutes, pour topping into center of the cheesecake and spread evenly. Place the cheesecake back into the oven for 5 minutes. Cool for 1 hour prior to serving. Makes one 10-inch cheesecake.
