- In bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat cream cheese, remaining sugar and vanilla until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Blend in sour cream. Spread in prepared pan.
- Bake at 350ºF for 60 to 70 minutes, or until center is set. Turn off oven. Leaving door slightly ajar, leave cheesecake in oven 1 hour.

- Note: The cheesecake is especially good when topped with strawberries that have been blended to a chunky yet juicy consistency. I used frozen berries that were slightly thawed.
