VERY BERRY CHEESECAKE

This is my absolute favorite cheese cake.  It is so easy to make many people think cheesecake takes a very long process to make, but I am here to tell you that it doesn't.

There are only five ingredients: Eggs, Sugar, Cream Cheese vanilla and lemon juice.  Generally I feel as if the cheese cakes you buy in stores taste like a cream cheese cake.  My creation has a taste more like a ice cream cake with fruit.  You can top my cheese cake with whatever you want, berries, nuts, lemon curd or chocolate

Instruction:
( if you are interested in a homemade gram cracker crust, please message me)

1. 4 8oz package of a good cream cheese
2. 4 large eggs
3. 1 cup of sugar
4. 1 tbls. vanilla extract
5. 1 tbls. lemon juice                                                    

Now what you do with these ingredients is very important. first you need two bowls a large bowl and a medium bowl.  In the large bowl I would soften all four cream cheese blocks, this is easy if you let stand at room temperature ,  Continue to cream these together until smooth with very little lumps.

In medium bowl add eggs and sugar together and with your hand mixer or whatever you have, mix together until light and fluffy, I like to leave my eggs out at room temperature also.

When this is done, pour the egg mixture into the smooth cream cheese and continue to mix  until very very smooth at this point I would add my flavoring, it could be vanilla, walnut cherry etc. stir until mixed well.. At this point you can squeeze or pour little lemon juice.

I would use a 10" spring form pan, pour my batter into the pan then place into the oven at 350 degree for 30 minutes until the batter is set and does not move in the pan.

After the batter is set remove from oven and then get your topping ready to be put on cake,  It is much easier if you use the pie filling from the can or you can cook up fresh fruit and place on top of cheese cake.

When you have the topping on place the cheese cake back into the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degree

After 10 min. remove from oven and let stand to cool enough to be placed in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.  This cheese cake is best made over night.  You can make your own crust to  put in your spring form pan or you can use a ready made crust in a 9" pie pan in which case it will make 2 or you could use 24 individual 3" crust filled pans.
