Christmas Recipe: Penelope's Favorite Cheesecake


cheesecake

Ingredients:
16 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 graham cracker crust (I buy an organic, pre-made crust that is already in aluminum to make this super easy, but you can certainly make your own crust with graham crackers)

Directions:
- Preheat oven at 325 degrees.
- Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla together until well-blended. Add two eggs and mix well.
- Pour mixture into crust, and bake at 325 for 55 minutes (or until the center feels almost set).
- Take cheesecake out of oven and let cool (may add optional topping below after it is done cooling). Refrigerate for at least four hours before serving, or overnight.

Optional: I love to buy a can of organic cherries for a topping. Not only is this absolutely delicious, but a cherry topping is just so pretty. You can also use blueberries, another fruit, chocolate, etc. You should add this topping after the cheesecake has baked, and has cooled.
