How to Make The Frugal Gourmet's New York Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch ungreased springform pan.
- In a blender, combine 16 ounces sour cream, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend for 1 minute.
- Add 16 ounces (two 8-ounce packages) softened cream cheese to the blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter through the top of the blender while it's running.
- Blend for a few seconds to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake in the lower third of the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to broil.
- Broil the cheesecake for 1-3 minutes, watching carefully, until the top begins to brown attractively. (Keep a close eye to prevent burning!)
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
