How to Make The Frugal Gourmet's New York Cheesecake

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