Birds, bees, and butterflies ....

Your wish ....  here's the recipe 

From an old cookbook (1962) an aunt gave to me:

Adele's cheesecake:

Beat until smooth:

2 eggs
2 tsps vanilla
3/4 tsp almond extract
3/4 cup honey or sugar
2 large packages (8 oz.) cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered milk

Spread a 7 or 8 inch pan generously with partially hardened margarine or butter; sprinkle with thick layer of cookie or graham cracker crumbs; pour cheese mixture over crumbs.

Set over jar lids or crumpled foil in a pan of boiling water and bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile mix together:

1 cup sour cream (do not chill)
1/3 cup honey or sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Take cheese cake from oven at end of 25 minutes and pour sweetened sour cream over top; return to oven and bake 10 minutes longer.

Notes: I use honey instead of sugar, and like darker honey, like buckwheat.

Use real sour cream, not low fat.

Powdered milk can be found in health food stores. It's not the kind used to make low fat milk.

I use the Original Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

The sour cream, almond and vanilla extracts and honey give the cheesecake its unique flavor.

THANK YOU! 

I love cheesecake, and I am going to give this a shot soon!

   I haven't made it in a while, so am going to make one also. I forgot to mention that I prefer graham crackers, the kind with less sugar, instead of cookies for the crumb crust. And, one more thing: try not to use graham crackers sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, which I consider the antithesis of honey.
