Sundance Cheesecake - September at Lori's house

Sundance Cheesecake

Beat for 15 minutes:
3 8-oz. packages cream cheese
1 ¾ c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs
¼ tsp. almond extract

Pour into a prepared graham cracker crust in a 10” springform pan. Bake at 325 F for 40-50 minutes. Cool 1 hour.

Topping (beat 5 minutes):
1 pt. sour cream
2 T. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Spread on cooled cheesecake and bake 7 minutes at 450 F.

P.S. This is VERY good cheesecake recipe, but the one I brought to dinner group was NOT up to snuff! You see, Walmart deceptively packages their “fat free cream cheese” (someone please tell me: what’s the point in THAT?!?) very similarly to the regular cream cheese, and I picked up the wrong stuff by mistake. By the time I discovered it, is was too late to run to the store again. The resulting cheesecake had (I thought) a rather gelatinous texture, which was pretty nasty. It’s cheesecake. It’s SUPPOSED to be full of fat!
