Ingredients:
2 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs, room temperature
2 cups Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 gluten free crust of choice, pre-baked
Topping of choice - Cherry, Blueberry, Turtle (pecans, caramel)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sugar and continue beating for a few minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to combine. Then beat in remaining ingredients.
Pour the filling into a springform pan that contains a cooled pre-baked crust.
Bake in preheated oven on the middle rack for 2 hours or until the top is golden and feels firm yet soft like a baked custard.
Begin checking after 90 minutes. Internal temperature should be 150 degrees.
Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake inside for about an hour. Five minutes after shutting off the oven, run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to help prevent cheesecake from cracking as it cools and settles.
Remove cheesecake from the oven and cool completely before chilling in the refrigerator. Cover with toppings of your choice. Slice and serve.
