I must say I am really not a Cheesecake fan but it's my bf's favorite dessert so I made it for Christmas. The BEST homemade cheesecake ever!. The crust was so tasty and the sour cream topping definitely added just the right extra bit of deliciousness (I know, that's probably a made up word!. If that's not enough encouragement, the recipe is super easy to make and not ultra time consuming. great great great!

VERY DELICIOUS. My family just loved this for New Years! I didn't make the sour cream though and I let it bake for an hour. It did crack a bit but that didn't stop it from tasting soo good! Instead of the sour cream, once it cooled, I covered it in a cream cheese icing and put it in the fridge overnight. Once the icing hardened I drizzled hot fudge over it. It was delicious!
