Uncle Rock's Cheesecake

This recipe is my next-door neighbor's, uncle's cheesecake recipe...a little roundabout, but so good! They had my husband and I over for dinner, served this for dessert and then shared the recipe: A dangerously simple dessert!
I love the crisp white top layer, makes a more polished look!


Filling
8oz Cream Cheese (Room temperature)
1/2 C. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice
1/4 Tsp. Vanilla
2 Eggs
Topping
1 C. Sour Cream
2.75 Tbsp. Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Vanilla

Graham Cracker Crust (I bought it for convenience, but homemade would be better: http://www.crazyforcrust.com/2014/06/perfect-graham-cracker-crust/)

In a stand mixer, put sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and mix. Add in 1 egg at a time. Mix and pour into your pie crust.

Bake 30 minutes (sometimes up to 45 depending on the oven) at 325 degrees... you don't want it to be too jiggly.

Topping: Once the cake looks done pull out of oven and top with the sour cream mixture, put back in the oven for 10 minutes. Take it out and set to cool. Put in the fridge... overnight is the best.

A very pretty cheesecake that tastes best with fresh berries!
Enjoy,
