Cheese Cake Supreme

This is the best cheese cake ever. It is so light you may even think you are eating something good for you! This receipe is from Mary Meades Magic Recipes. I LOVE this cookbook, it is old, but great!

For the crust:

Combine then press into a 9 inch spring-form pan.
3/4 package zwieback cookies, crushed in your blender
1/4 cup soft butter
1/4 cup sugar

For the filling:

Add to your blender-
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 egg yolks (SAVE THE WHITES)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Turn on your blender and mix, then add in pieces, 1 pound of soft cream cheese. Beat your egg whites until just stiff then fold into your cream cheese mix. Pout over your crust and bake at 325 degrees for an hour or until the center is set.

I know many people say to cook your cheese cake in a water bath. This recipe usually doesn't crack on me. I also normally top this cheese cake with blueberries so if it does crack it isn't a big deal. If you do choose to cook your cheese cake in a water bath make sure to wrap the spring form pan tightly with foil, if you don't water will seep in and ruin your cheese cake.
