Santa's Treat

At the Carper house, we figured Santa had been all the way around the world eating cookies and since we lived in one of the last time zones, we should give him something besides cookies if we wanted him to bring really great stuff..... so on Christmas eve, before bed we leave a nice carrot for his reindeer (and they always take a big bite out of it and leave the half eaten stump) and we leave Santa either a bowl of home made ice cream if it is really cold or a slice or
Toni's Real German Cheesecake.
This is the recipe:
the crust is a graham cracker crust. You can use a purchased shell or make your own by:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter
1/3 cup sugar
Mix together and press into a pie pan - use the bottom of the cup to get an even crust. Set it aside.

2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
Cream cheese until smooth. Blend in sugar and eggs. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 15 minutes. Increase oven temp to 425.

1/2 pint sour cream,
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teas. vanilla.
Combine and spread over baked filling. Return pie to oven and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
For it to set up, cool overnight in the refrigerator, but Santa prefers it fresh and still a little warm.

Sounds good...we leave Santa a candy cane cookie, 1/2 glass of milk and some carrots for the reindeer.

Sounds good. I had cheesecake at our company party last night. It was VERY rich. I couldn't even eat the whole piece (and that is saying a lot for someone with a sweet tooth like me.!)
