How to Make Flo's Cheesecake With Sour Cream Frosting

  1. **Crust:**
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ¼ cup (½ stick) melted unsalted butter. Add more crumbs or butter as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  6. **Filling:**
  7. Bring 16 ounces of neufchâtel cheese and 3 large eggs to room temperature.
  8. In a large bowl, beat the neufchâtel cheese until smooth.
  9. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  10. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  11. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  12. **Baking:**
  13. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
  14. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  15. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  16. **Topping:**
  17. While the cheesecake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup fat-free sour cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  18. Once the cheesecake is completely cool, spread the sour cream frosting evenly over the top.
  19. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
