Directions: |
Directions:Mix the 1/4 Cup sugar and cinnamon in with the 2 Cups of graham cracker crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix all together. Press all but 1/4 cup into a 9 x 13 1/2/ inch loaf pan pressing up the sides as well. Bake shell in oven for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees. In a clean, large mixing bowl and using a whisk beater, add cream of tartar to 6 egg whites and beat until stiff. Gradually add 3 Tbsp. sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside on a sheet of wax paper. Set your oven at 325 degrees. In your large mixing bowl, beat cheese until soft, adding remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, flour and salt. Add egg yokes one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Fold in egg whites. Pour mixture into prepared pan with graham cracker crust. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until firm at 325º. Turn off heat, open oven door slightly and leave cake in the oven 10 more minutes. (I use a towel to keep door slightly open). Cake can be chilled before serving. |

Notes: This absolutely heavenly cheesecake recipe was given to me in LaGrange, Il. Since it takes some effort to make, it tells those who eat it that they are loved; they are special. Once when I had made this cheesecake for little sister, Robin, she asked me if I ever made it for our older sister, Phyllis. I told her, yes, I loved her too! Libby Welter
