Ingredients - everything at room temperature
32 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces sour cream
4 eggs
2/3 cups milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Zest from one lemon and one orange.
*For base*
22 Graham crackers
Melted butter enough to get the crackers to stick.
Crash the crackers and mix with melted butter. Lay that at the bottom of the baking pan.
Heat oven to 325 degrees
DirectionsMix flour, sour cream, zest and vanilla, set aside.
Cream sugar and cream cheese.
Add milk and mix well.
Mix in eggs, one at a time, mix really well.
Add the sour cream mix and mix well.
Pour that mess in the baking pan. Bake for 57 minutes then *turn the oven off, leave the cake in there for 3 hours*
Take it out and let it cool completely. For best taste, make a day ahead, refrigerate. Bring to room temp before serving.
Cracks can be prevented by baking in a water bath. They never bother me though.
Have a slice
Salted caramel sauce
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream (get promised land brand or any that's not ultra pasteurized)
6 tablespoons butter cut into pieces.
Sea salt
Melt sugar in a large heavy bottomed sauce pan.
As soon as it melts take it off heat, whisk in the heavy cream. This is where the large sauce pan comes in handy coz it will bubble. Then whisk in the butter pieces at a time.
Add a pinch of salt. Do not try to taste it at this point. It could still be dangerously hot.
When cool, taste for salt. Add more if you desire.
