Cheesecake

My favorite cheesecake to make is a no bake cheesecake. 
I like the simple ingredients and how fresh it tastes with our favorite toppings.
If you prefer a thicker, rich bake cheesecake, I've listed a recipe for that as well. :)

Beat cream cheese until smooth; gradually beat in sugar.  Blend in sour cream and vanilla.  fold in whipped topping.  Spoon into two graham cracker crusts.  Chill until set for a few hours. 




Garnish with fruit or toppings as desired.
