This cheesecake is a family favorite. It has a delicate crust and a creamy cheesecake layer topped with sweetened sour cream. It is very simple to make and easily serves a crowd. What makes it even better, is that it is made in a 9 x 13 pan that you can just cover the glass dish and store in the refrigerator. If you are on dessert duty this Easter, give this yummy cheesecake a try. You can also serve this with a variety of fruit toppings if you wish, but I think it is perfect just the way it is!
Polish Cheesecake
Ingredients
- FOR CRUST:
- 1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers
- 6 Tbsp. butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- FOR CHEESECAKE:
- 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- FOR SOUR CREAM TOPPING:
- 1 (16 oz.) container sour cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine all crust ingredients and mix well.
- With a fork pack the crust into the bottom of a 9 x 13 glass baking dish.
- Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then cool.
- Lower the oven to 350 degrees.
- Bring cream cheese to room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, or Kitchen Aid Mixer, beat until creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the sugar and vanilla and mix well.
- Pour this filling on top of the crust in your 9 x 13 pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cheesecake is set- you don't want runny cheesecake! ( You can check with a tooth pick)
- Cool at room temperature for 15 minutes- but do not turn off oven.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the sour cream topping and mix well with a hand held mixer.
- Pour this topping evenly and spread ever so gently on top of the partly cooled cheesecake and bake 15 minutes more.
- Refrigerate at once. When completely cooled you may cut into squares and serve.
- Cover any left over squares and store in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!

This looks delicious. I adore cheesecake although I’ve never made it myself. Love the thought of serving it in squares too. I am on dessert duties this Easter so I might very well give this a try. I have just enough time for a quick practice run!
These look so good! I’m definitely pinning. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and pinning:) I hope you like them if you decide to make some!
