Notes
Helpful Recipe Tips
- All ingredients except the sour cream should be room temp.
- I use a 8x8 baking pan in this recipe
- When beating in the eggs lightly beat to avoid add too much air in the recipe. This can cause the cheesecake to crack while cooling.
- Don't skip the step of placing in the refrigerator. It does something for the cheesecake that if you skip it, it's easily noticeable in texture and flavor.
- You can place the 8x8 pan in a water bath if you like. I don't use that method but I'm not against it.
