                                  eggs

                                  teaspoon vanilla
 
                               
                              Preheat 
                                oven to 300ºF degrees. 
                              Prepare 
                                crust by blending together crumbs, corn syrup 
                                and butter. Press into cake pan sprayed with vegetable 
                                spray. 
                              Prepare 
                                cheesecake filling by mixing together powder sugar, 
                                cream cheese, sour cream and vanilla until smooth. 
                              Add 
                                one egg at a time and keep mixing until mixture 
                                is completely smooth. (Do not mix on high speed, 
                                as you will incorporate too much air into mixture, 
                                which would create air bubbles that would result 
                                in uneven surface after baking). 
                              Pour 
                                cheese mixture on top of crumbs and flatten with 
                                spatula. 
                              Place 
                                cake pan into sheet pan filled with water and 
                                bake for approximately 90 minutes. 
                              Check 
                                internal temperature of cheesecake with a thermometer 
                                probe. If temperature is 170ºF, the cheesecake 
                                is done. 
                              Remove 
                                cheesecake from oven. Cool overnight. 
                              Next 
                                day, tip cheesecake out of pan and slice. 
                              Serve
