Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with foil, extending over edge of pan. ( will use these to remove cheesecake once cool ) Mix crumbs, sugar and butter and press evenly into the bottom of pan. Set aside.
• 2. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla on medium speed until well blended. Scrape sides of bowl a few times. ( I use my kitchen aid mixer with the paddle attachment.) Can use a regular mixer.
• 3. Add the sour cream and beat well. Scraping sides of bowl. Turn mixer to low and beat in eggs one at a time, just until blended. Over beating will possibly cause cracking in cheesecake.
• 4. Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until the center of cake is almost set. ( 50 minutes if not using topping. )
• 5. While baking, if using the sour cream topping, mix all ingredients until smooth and set aside. If you want a thicker layer of this topping I would make one of the recipe and another 1/2 batch.
• 6. After 40 minutes or until center of cake is almost set, remove from oven and carefully spread on the sour cream mixture. Return to oven for 10 more minutes.
• 7. Remove from oven and cool. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight is best. Remove cheesecake with extended foil, cut and garnish as desire..
