2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 lbs cream cheese
2 eggs
8 ounces sour cream
1/2 cup butter, melted or softened
1 cup sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla 2 1/2
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. To make the crust, mix graham crackers crumbs, butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in bowl.
3. Press mixture in bottom and sides of 9 inch springform pan.
4. In mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar for 2 minutes.
5. Add eggs and vanilla to mixture and mix until well blended.
6. Then stir or fold in sour cream.
7. Pour mixture in crust filled pan and bake for 10 minutes.
8. Then reduce to 200 degrees to bake for 45 minutes.
9. From here the cheese cake just needs to be chilled, but I recommend doing the following step if you have a few extra hours- Leave in warm oven, once you turn it off but leave door slightly open.
10. Let sit and cool for 2 hours and remove from oven.
11. Remove sides from pan and chill in refrigerator.
After much experimenting I came up with the perfect cheese cake. Hope you try it.

1. Lightly grease the base of a 20cm/8in round loose-bottomed cake tin. Make the cheesecake base by combining the biscuit crumbs, butter and demerara sugar. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the tin with the back of a spoon. Leave in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cheesecake topping.
2. Place the soft cheese, honey and yoghurt in a bowl and beat well, using an electric hand whisk or balloon whisk, until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Stir in the lemon juice and zest.
