Small Cheesecake

Ya gotta love a cheesecake recipe that only uses

 1 package of cream cheese.

This recipe makes one small cheesecake.

Just the right size to make anytime.

 Beat softened cream cheese, sugar,
lemon juice, vanilla, and a pinch of salt
until fluffy.

 Beat in eggs, one at a time, until blended.
Don't overbeat.

Pour filling into graham cracker crust.
Bake @325 for 25 minutes, or
until set ~ edges will be slightly puffed.

 Combine the topping ingredients.

 Spoon over the hot cheesecake.

 Return to the oven and bake another
10 minutes.

 Cool on wire rack or trivet for at
 least an hour ~ then refrigerate.

It's easy, quick, and doesn't require a 

big cheesecake making commitment. 

If you don't have a lot of time, but want
something homemade, this is for you.
This is so simple and so delicious.
It only takes 10  minutes to prepare.

 Rich and creamy.
