CREAM CHEESE AND SOUR CREAM FROSTING RECIPES

Steps:

• Crust:.
• Coat 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Mix graham cracker crumbs and butter together to form crust. I recommend starting out with 2 Tbsp butter and 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs and adding more as needed. The crust coats the bottom of the pan only.
• Filling:.
• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• Bring cream cheese and eggs to room temperature.
• Cut cream cheese into cubes and cream in a large bowl or mixer.
• Add 1 cup sugar gradually and blend well.
• Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition.
• Pour into the springform pan.
• Bake at 300 for 1 hour or until well-set (I often need an hour and 20 minutes).
• Cool for at least 20 minutes before putting on topping.
• Topping:.
• Mix together sour cream, 2 tsp sugar, and vanilla.
• Spread over cake and return to the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Cool then refrigerate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Beat cream cheese in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth; add eggs, 1 at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Beat 1 cup sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture until mixture is smooth; fill muffin cups to within 1/8 inch of the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set in the middle, about 35 minutes.
• Mix sour cream, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl. Drop a teaspoonful of sour cream mixture over cupcakes.
• Bake cupcakes in the oven for 5 minutes more. Cool cupcakes to room temperature and refrigerate until chilled.
