Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
2. For the crust, combine the graham-cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter, and mix well.
3. Press the mixture firmly into an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Press flat onto bottom only.
4. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown. Reduce the oven temp to 350 degrees.
5. For the filling, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, cornstarch, and sugar in the bowl of a mixer. Mix until the sugar has dissolved.
6. Add the butter and vanilla and blend until smooth. Be careful not to over-mix, or the filling will become too fluffy and will crack when cooling.
7. Pour the filling over the crust.
8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.
9. Cool for 1 hour.
10. For the topping, mix the sour cream and powdered sugar. Spread the mixture over the top of the cooled cheesecake. Chill or freeze until ready to eat.
