Snickerdoodle Cheesecake

 
 It was still warm enough in Texas to enjoy the outside for tea.  Today I'm having Snickerdoodle Cheesecake and Twinings Pumpkin Chai Tea.  My sunflower plate is a clearance item from Pier 1. 


  
My leopard mug came from Hobby Lobby this year and matches the leopard decoupaged pumpkin that I made several years ago.  


  

 The recipe for this Snickerdoodle Cheesecake came from the October 2013 issue of Better Homes and Gardens.  The crust is very tasty and the cheesecake is creamy and oh so good, with just the right touch of cinnamon.  I hope you try it!

2 8-oz. packages cream cheese
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 10-oz. package shortbread cookies, finely crushed
1 T. Sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 8-oz. carton sour cream
1 cup sugar
2 T. flour
2 t. vanilla
1/2 t. cinnamon

Topping

1 T. sugar
1/2 t. cinnamon

1.  Allow cream cheese and eggs to stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. For crust, in a medium bowl, stir together crushed cookies and 1 T. sugar. Stir in melted until combined. Press mixture onto bottom and up sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

2.  In a large mixing bowl beat together cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup sugar, flour, vanilla, and 1/2 t. cinnamon with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in eggs.

3.  In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients. Pour cream cheese mixture into pan, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with the topping. Place springform pan on a shallow baking pan.

4. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a 2 1/2-inch area around outside edge appears set when gently shaken. Cool in springform pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a knife, loosen crust from sides of pan. Cool 30 minutes more. Remove sides of pan; cool cheesecake completely on wire rack. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. Makes 12 servings.

    Oh my, Kitty! Snickerdoodle cheesecake!! I think I have mentioned that my husband loves snickerdoodle cookies so I have no doubt that he would love this :) I am going to have to go buy a spring foam pan this week so that I can make him this decadent dessert. Have a lovely day, friend. Much love!

    Speaking of the Texas weather, it is wonderful for an outdoor tea time! I love your leopard mug with the pumpkin for a great fall design. The cheese cake sounds delicious and well worth the calories plus snickerdoodle cookies are one of our favorites. Hope we get some more rain like Saturday's.

    Oh, does your cheesecake ever sound good, Kitty! The mug and pumpkin are really cute together. Way too cold for tea outside here on the Island and I wonder what it must be like to have warm weather such as you're having. Thank you for coming to tea with me and sharing your scrumptious cheesecake recipe. Have a beautiful week, my friend.

    Blessings & hugs,
    Sandi

    Love all your cute leopard items. My baby sis in Maui would go bonkers over them....she is gaga for any animal prints.
