3-step Cheesecake (with Neufchatel)
from Maryanne, 5/16/02:
The 3 step cheesecake from a Philadelphia cheese package sounds a lot like your New York cheesecake and is very simple. It calls for Neufchatel, rather than cream cheese:
1. Mix 1 lb. soft Neuf. cheese with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 teas. vanilla, beating with an electric mixer until light. Add 2 eggs and mix until blended.
2. Pour into 1-6oz. Graham cracker pie crust. (storebought)
3. Bake at 350* for 40 min. or until almost set in the center. Cool and refrigerate for at least 2 hrs.
You can improvise any topping you want.
