CHEATER'S NEW YORK STYLE CHEESECAKE
This is one I modified from several recipes. I cannot to use a springform pan. I buy the ready-made graham cracker crust and use my filling in them. I find it easier to do and can transport them in the container the crust comes in.

Steps:
- Combine the sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a mixer for one minute. Add the cream cheese and mix until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix a few seconds longer.
- Pour into ready-made pie crust ( I use the larger ones with the 2 extra servings) and bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes.
- If you want to brown the top, turn on the broiler and watch it. If you look away, it will burn.
- Cool for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. Overnight is better. Cut into thin slices. It is cheesecake after all.
- We prefer it plain, but feel free to add the topping of your choice.

A friend of mine gave me a version of this recipe. I added the pudding mix to it to solve a problem with it setting up properly. The end result is so delicious and easy peasy to make.

Steps:
- 1. Beat the sugar into the softened cream cheese. Then add the sour cream and vanilla, beat until smooth.
- 2. Sprinkle the cheesecake pudding mix into the bowl and beat well with the sour cream mixture. (NOTE: I used sugar free pudding mix.)
- 3. Fold in the Cool Whip until well incoporated into the mixture and pour into prepared 8 inch graham cracker pie crust.
- 4. Keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Serve it with a little raspberry sauce, chocolate sauce or cherry pie filling. Fresh strawberries are also a tasty topping. I intend to try this with vanilla, chocolate and white chocolate pudding mixes eventually.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the cheesecake will taste. This means using real cream cheese, not a spread or whipped topping. It also means using fresh eggs, sugar, and butter.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cheesecake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it set properly and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
Cheater cheesecakes are a great way to enjoy a delicious and creamy cheesecake without all the hassle of making a traditional cheesecake.
