"Cheesecake"

This recipe does indeed contain dairy products, so do not be fooled by the quotation marks. It is not, however a traditional cheesecake.  This recipe is transcribed from our mom's handwritten collection. There were some ambiguous comments and I have included my own comments in parenthesis. Until the comments can be verified, prepare this recipe at your own risk.

"Cheesecake"
16 oz. cream cheese
2/3 cup sugar
3 large eggs
0.5 teaspoon vanilla
(Next to the ingredient list it says "double." I am not sure if they are already doubled or if it is recommended to double them).

Beat (above ingredients) until creamy. Pour into well-greased square pan (sorry, no size indicated). Bake at 350F for 30 minutes until cheese sets in the center. Cool ten minutes. (Keep the oven on; cake will be returning).

1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
cinnamon for sprinkling

Hand mix (first 3 ingredients). Spread over cake. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Return to oven for 10-15 minutes. Refrigerate overnight before slicing.
