Mini Cheesecake Supreme

Mini Cheesecake Supreme Makes 4 individual  or 1 10-inch cheesecake

Crust 9 graham crackers, chrushed into fine crumbs 1/2 cup brown sugar 6 TBL butter, melted
Filling 2  8 oz cream cheese 3/4 cup sugar 5 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp almond extract
Topping  1 1/2 cups sour cream 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the crust ingredients and press into 4 individual or 1 10-inch springform pan.  Bake for 12 minutes. Beat cream cheese well, gradually beating in sugar.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla and almond extracts.  Pour into crust and bake for 22-25 minutes for the idividuals or 32-35 for the 10 inch.  Middle shouldn't be liquid but will jiggle a little.  Remove from oven. Mix topping and spread on cakes.  Bake 5 minutes longer.  Cool 10 minutes then run knife around edges of spring pan.  Then cool completely and chill.   * For Valentine's I put heart shaped cherries on top.  You could use chrushed graham crackers and sprinke on top to garnish.  

*I like to make 4 idividual cheesecakes and freeze a few for later.  Freeze on cookie sheet then transfer to a freezer ziploc bag.  *I like to give them to friends on special plate with few kisses around the edges for their birthdays.
