Yet another recipe from my sister's wedding. It is one of those DENSE
cheesecakes. The trick is finding a hiding place so it can sit for the
requisite 12 to 24 hours.

Cheesecake

(1) beat for 15 minutes: 3 packages cream cheese
                     4 eggs
                     3/4 cup sugar
                     1 tsp vanilla

(2) then beat in another bowl for 5 minutes:
                     1 pint sour cream
                     1/2 cup sugar

fold (2) into (1). Grease a spring form pan, dust with graham cracker
crumbs and pur in the batter. For chocolate swirl cheesecake, add
either 1/2 cup melted semisweet chocolate or a mixture of 1/4 cup cocoa
and 1/2 cup sugar to half the batter and swirl the plain and the
chocolate batters in the baking dish.

bake at 350 F for about 45 minutes (until cracked and settled and
slightly darker). Turn the oven off but leave the cake in the oven for
another hour. Now comes the hard part: wait at least 12 hours before
serving.
