Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 2 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6-8 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg white
Cheesecake:
- (4) ounce packages cream cheese (softened)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup cake flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Toppings:
- 16 ounces Driscoll's strawberries (sliced)
- 12 ounces Driscoll's raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Add the melted butter and stir well with a fork. Add egg white and mix well. *This can also be done in a food processor.
- Prepare a 9 x 13 pan. Press graham cracker crust mixture into bottom of the pan. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- REDUCE heat to 275 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add sugar, cake flour, and salt. Beat for 2 minutes or until mixture is creamy.
- Add eggs and egg yolks and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in sour cream and vanilla and beat for 1 minute.
- Spread the cheesecake batter on top of the slightly cooled graham cracker crust. Bake at 275 degrees for 30-35 minutes, until firm to the touch in the center. Remove from oven and set aside to cool for 1 hour.
- Using a spatula or sharp knife, run along the sides of the pan to loosen the cheesecake from the sides. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Before cutting, place in freezer to make it easy to cut into squares. Cover and freeze for 1-2 hours. Slice the cheesecake into 2-inch squares. Tip: keep a glass full of hot water handy to dip the knife in to slice evenly.
- Top with fresh Driscoll's berries -- strawberries, raspberries, blueberries.
