Sour Cream Cheesecake- Recipes My Mom Gave Me

My dad's birthday was just last week.  He would have been 90 years old! 🥳 All through my childhood, my mom made this cheesecake for his birthday.  She made it in a giant sheet pan (there were 7 of us eating it).  I cut it back and make it in my 9 x 9 pan.   It's still just as yummy!

Ingredients Needed

  • Graham cracker crumbs
  • Sugar (both white and brown)
  • Butter
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla
  • Cream cheese
  • Sour cream

Can I Use Low Fat Cream Cheese Instead?

Yes.  If desired, you can use a low fat (Neufchatel) version or even, a fat free version cream cheese for this.  

What About a Dairy Free or Plant Based Cream Cheese?

Honestly, I don't know.  I have eaten dairy free cream cheese on my bagels, but, have never tried it with a baked cheesecake.  Although, I made no bake mini cheesecakes and it worked great.  So, I am assuming it will work, but, don't want to say for certain.  If you try it, please let me know your results!

Can I Use Low Fat Sour Cream or Plain Greek Yogurt?

Yes.  I have used both on this cheesecake and they both worked. 

Storage

Keep any leftover cheesecake in a covered dish in the refrigerator.  It is best eaten with a week.
