cheesecake recipe

actually this is for ama, cos she asked but if you want to try it you can :) its really simple and it tastes really good! my family, jonathan, ama and yan can testify to that hehe

Ingredients:
crust: 1 cup cracker crumbs
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. melted butter

cake: 2 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Method:
crust: mix crumbs, sugar & butter.
press onto bottom (and sides if you want) of pan
bake at 165deg. for 10 mins (or less, don't let it burn la)

cake: preheat oven to 170deg.
beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended.
blend in vanilla
pour over crust & bake for 35-40 mins or until center is almost set.
refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight

if you want you can serve it with strawberry syrup, it tasted quite nice.. or you can try strawberry puree, just blend one cup of strawberries with 2 tbsp of sugar.

alternatively, you could use 3 packages of cream cheese, 3/4 cups of sugar, 3 eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla if you want more cheesecake. and you must bake it longer too, about 50 mins

hmm maybe i should make it for my sister as a welcome home cake..
