Diner Cheesecake Recipe

This is my grandmothers recipe handed down. I have tried others but continue to come back to this one. I also recommend that only Philadelphia Cream Cheese should be used no substitutions. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Crust

  • 13 1/2 ounces graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar (less can be used)
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup butter (melted)

Filling

  • 5 (8 ounce) packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese
  • 1 3/4 cups sugar
  • 4 tablespoons flour
  • 1 lemon, juice of
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 7 eggs (beaten)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk

Instructions

  • Crust:
  • Mix all ingredients together and press into sides and bottom of a 10" x 2 3/4" springform pan. This makes alot of crust sometimes I will cut if in half or freeze half.
  • Filling:
  • In large bowl, cream the cheese. Add sugar, lemon, flour, butter and mix thoroughly.
  • Add vanilla, evaporated milk, eggs and heavy cream. Mixture will be thin.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. This depends on your oven. I always put a tray with water under it to catch drippings and help prevent cracking. When it looks like it has set turn off oven and let it rest in the oven for a few minutes. This may also help to prevent cracking.
