Delicious Cheese Pie

This is just like a cheese cake except rather than having a graham cracker crust it forms it's own "crust" when it bakes. Also note that this is made in a pie dish and not a spring-form pan.

Ingredients:

Bottom:
16 oz cream cheese
3 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice (or more if you want it more lemony)

Top:
2 cups sour cream
3 TB sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

~Beat the cream cheese unit smooth, beat in one egg at a time. Then add remaining sugar, vanilla and lemon juice and beat until creamy.
~Pour into a greased 9 inch pie pan
~Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes
~After the 50 minutes are up, take the pie out of the oven and let cool for about 30 minutes. (At this point the pie will have puffed up A LOT... don't worry, it will go down before you have to put the top on)
~While the pie is cooling mix all of the ingredients together for the top.
~After the pie is cooled (about 30 minutes) pour the mixture on top and bake at 325 degrees for another 15 minutes.
~Chill in the fridge for about 5-6 hours

This pie is great served with fresh fruit or a jam on top! Enjoy!!
