Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 15 graham crackers, crushed
• ¾ cup low-fat (1%) milk
• 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 4 (8 ounce) packages Neufchatel cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press onto the bottom of the prepared springform pan.

Step 3

Combine Neufchatel cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Blend in milk, then mix in eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture into prepared crust.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until center sets, about 1 hour. Turn oven off and let cake cook in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
