About
Creamy classic vanilla cheesecake with a sweet and light sour cream topping.
This is my very favorite cheesecake recipe. It is SO creamy and light. If you are a cheesecake purist and you like it plain, this is your cheesecake. It is so flavorful all by itself-- you will love it!! (I like raspberry pie filling on the top....!)
