Larry's Cheese Cake:

Here is the classic traditional European style cheese cake. It is not low fat.
What you need. What you do.
1 & 1/2 cup walnut pieces. 2 oz. graham crackers. 1/8 cup granulated sugar. 3/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tsp. cinnamon. 1/8 tsp. nutmeg. In a food processor, fine chop the nuts. Add the graham crackers and chop. Add the granulated and brown sugar and blend. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg and blend.
1/4 cup melted butter. Put mixture in a bowl and stir in the butter. Turn out in a 10 inch spring form pan. Press the crust up the side about 1 & 1/2 inch. Use a spoon to form the corner. Press remaining
crust over bottom of pan.
Preheat oven to 300 deg.
16 oz. cream cheese. 14 oz. sweetened, condensed milk 1/4 tsp. salt. 3 eggs. 1/4 cup lemon juice. Use a mixer with a whip to soften the cheese. Add the milk, salt and eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in lemon juice.
Pour into the pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes (until springy in the center).
12 oz. sour cream. 1 tbsp. granulated sugar. 1 tsp. vanilla. Allow cake to cool for 15 min. and raise oven temp to 450 deg. Mix cream sugar and vanilla. Spread on cake and bake for 5 min.
For an alternative fruit topping, skip the sour cream topping and spoon your choice of canned pie filling over the cake.
