- ½ cup finely chopped walnuts
- 2 cup finely chopped vanilla wafer
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- Filling
- 1½ lbs cream cheese
- 1⅓ cups sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 16 ounces sour cream
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Preheat oven to 325
- Mix all crust ingredients together and press into a buttered 9 inch springform pan. Try and go about 1.5 inches up the side
- Beat cream cheese together ( I used a hand mixer) you want it to be light
- Add sugar and beat in slowly.
- Next add the eggs in one at a time. Make sure each is fully beaten in before adding another one.
- Next add flour, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix well.
- Add sour cream and beat in.
- Pour the mixture into the crust - I had a little mixture left over.
- Place in the oven on the top rack for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Turn off oven open the door ( just a crack) and leave cheesecake there for one hour.
- Place the cheesecake in the fridge for about 8 hours ( the more you wait the flavors will become better).
- Enjoy!
