Way more error-proof than making an entire cheesecake. Serves however many pieces you want to cut an 8x8” pan into.
Filling:
16 oz. (two bricks) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla
Crust:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs or crushed Oreos (about 1 sleeve)
1/4 cup butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 325º. Line an 8x8” square baking dish with foil and grease.
Combine cookie crumbs and butter, and press evenly into baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add in sour cream/yogurt and sugar, and beat thoroughly. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each. Add vanilla and beat.
Pour mixture over crust evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the center appears dry and the edges are barely golden.
Allow to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.
