Vanilla Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 Ginger Graham Cracker Crust (prebaked)

Preparation
Preheat oven to 325° F. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

I had the same problem with the butter seeping all over the bottom of my oven-a huge mess! I will try it again using 6-7 T butter since it was still very good. Not a strong vanilla flavor05/17/08

this is a great recipe, except that there is a problem with the gingersnap crust. i made it with 10 tablespoons of butter just like it says, and there was literally butter dripping everywhere when i cooked the crust...all over the bottom of the oven, and burning my hand when i removed it. if i make it again, i'd try with 8 tablespoons butter at most, maybe even 6 or 7.01/18/06
