MAMAW BONNIE'S CHEESECAKE

From the Kitchen of Amy Lofton

We make Cheesecakes for the holidays as a family. This is a recipe my mom has made for years
as a professional cook but we know it best as Mamaw Bonnie’s favorite and easy cheesecake.

All of my grown children now make them for their families and co-workers and friends as gifts.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
4 pre-made graham cracker crusts
1 can of sweetened condensed milk

4 cream cheese blocks at room temperature
4 eggs
4 cups or less of sugar or cup for cup sugar substitute ( I use a xylitol/erythritol mix)

I do not like my cheesecake as sweet as some so I only use 2 cups of sugar or sugar substitute

Blend until mixed well and no chunks, then pour into the 4 graham cracker pie crusts.
Place on cookie sheets and Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set and lightly browned
on top depending on your oven. I bake 2 at a time so they bake evenly.

If you like your cheesecake flavored then you can pour 1 -2 plain cheesecake then to the left
over batter add in pure cocoa for chocolate or your favorite jam to make a swirled cheesecake.

If I add jam I place 1 -2 tablespoons jam in pie after the batter is poured then swirl it through
with a spatula.
