What is the recipe for cheesecake that was on back of philadelphia cream cheese?

Unfortunately, I don't have access to past marketing materials like the back of Philadelphia cream cheese packaging. This kind of information changes frequently.

However, I can provide you with a classic New York-style cheesecake recipe that is widely considered to be a delicious and reliable choice!

Classic New York Cheesecake

Ingredients:

* Crust:

* 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

* 1/4 cup sugar

* 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

* Filling:

* 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

* 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 3 large eggs

* 1/2 cup sour cream

* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (optional, for a smoother texture)

Instructions:

1. Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.

2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in sour cream and flour (if using).

3. Bake: Pour filling over crust. Place springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This creates a water bath, which helps the cheesecake bake evenly.

4. Bake for 55-75 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggly. The edges should be set, but the center will still have a little wobble.

5. Cool: Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Then, remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Tips:

* To prevent cracks, bake the cheesecake in a water bath. The water bath creates a moist environment that helps the cheesecake cook evenly and prevents the top from drying out too quickly.

* Don't overbake the cheesecake! It should be slightly jiggly in the center. The cheesecake will continue to set as it cools.

* Serve with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fruit compote.

Enjoy!
