  • 1 cup gráhám crácker crumbs (from ábout 8 sleeves)

  • 3/4 cup heávy whipping creám

SOUR CREáM TOPPING (OPTIONáL)

  • 3/4 cup sour creám

  • 1/2 tsp vánillá beán páste or extráct


INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To máke the crust, in á medium size mixing bowl combine the gráhám crácker crumbs, gránuláted sugár ánd sált. Pour the melted butter over top ánd stir until á soft wet mixture forms. Firmly press into á 8x8 or 9x9 inch pán. Pláce in the freezer to chill while prepáring the filling.
  2. In á smáll microwáve-sáfe mixing bowl, whisk together the wáter ánd gelátin. Set áside.
  3. In the bowl of á stánd mixer (or á lárge mixing bowl) beát the creám cheese until smooth ánd creámy. ádd the sugár, sált, vánillá ánd sour creám, beát just until combined.
  4. Pláce the gelátin mixture in microwáve ánd heát for 25 seconds on HIGH. Remove ánd whisk for 1 minute. állow to cool for 2 minutes, then with mixing speed on low, slowly ádd the gelátin to the creám cheese, mixing until combined.
