Ingredients

  • 1 box graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 lbs. cream cheese
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 tbsp. flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 ounce. praline
  • 1/2 c. lowfat sour cream
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 c. Ricotta cheese
  • Walnuts, whole pcs for garnish

Directions

  1. For crust, mix together graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. This should be moist sufficient to hold together. Adjust butter to correct moistness. Press mix into a springform baking pan, forming a crust. You may press the crust up the sides of the pan if you like. Set aside for later use.
  2. With a mixer on low speed, combine the rest of the ingredients, except for the walnuts, till a smooth batter is formed. Gently pour batter into springform pan with crust.
  3. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place pan in a water bath and bake for 15 min, then reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake for 45 min. Check cheesecake for a hard consistency, especially in the middle.
  4. When the entire cheesecake is hard, turn oven off and open door slightly to slowly cold the cake. This method prevents the top of the cake from cracking. Cut cake after completely cold. Garnish with whole walnuts. Serves: 12. (Prep and Cooking Time: 2 hrs)
