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....!)

In a medium bowl, combine crust ingredients together until well combined. Press into a 9″ spring form pan, pressing crumbs into bottom and about 1 1/2″ up sides of pan.
Step 3
For the filling, combine the sugar and softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl and beat together until smooth.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each addition.
Step 5
Add the vanilla, lemon juice and salt and beat until smooth and creamy, and pour into crust.
Step 6
Bake at 350F degrees for 35-45 minutes.

While cheesecake is baking, make topping by simply mixing together all of the topping ingredients.
Step 8
After 35-45 minutes of baking, remove cheesecake from oven and turn oven down to 325F degrees.
