The crust for this cheesecake is so yummy it adds great flavor to the cheesecake!

Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped vanilla wafers
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 9" Spring form pan (coat lightly with butter)
  • Filling
  • 1 1/2 pounds cream cheese
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 16 ounces sour cream
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

Crust:

Mix all nuts and vanilla wafer crumbs with melted butter and press in the buttered spring form pan, trying to line the sides as much as possible about 1 1/2" up the sides of the pan, set aside.

Filling:

All above ingredients should be at room temperature before your begin.

Start by beating the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Keep the mixer on a low setting throughout the beating and mixing process. Add the sugar a little at a time and continue beating until creamy. Add one egg at a time and beat after each egg. When eggs have been mixed into the cream cheese add flour, vanilla and lemon juice, mix well. Add the sour cream last and beat well.

Pour cream cheese into the spring form pan. Place on the top rack in the middle of a 325 degrees preheated oven for one hour and 15 minutes. When time is up, prop open oven door and leave in oven for one hour. After one hour, remove from oven. Let cool enough before the cheesecake is put into the refrigerator for 24 hours. A cheesecake should season. The wait is worth it. The flavor ripens and becomes enriched.

    Do you turn the oven off or leave it on after the 1 hour and 15 minutes?

    love the recipe. I’ve made it about 6 times and every time I used a something different for the crust. The fav so far is graham cracker, nilla wafers and pecans.
    Great!

    Best. Cheesecake. Ever. My first cheesecake using this recipe was too dry, so I have reduced the cooking time by 15 min. to only 1 hour, and WOW! This cheesecake is awesome, and my family and friends will attest to that! You can use a traditional graham cracker crust and it is still the best.
