Crust:

12-14 graham crackers, crumbled

¼ cup melted butter

Filling:

12 oz WHIPPED Philly cream cheese

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp lemon juice

¾ cup sugar

Place all ingredients into blender except for cream cheese, and whip. Add cream cheese slowly and blend well. Pour into crust or into cupcakes (when using cupcakes, don't forget to leave room for topping). Bake at 350* for 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes then add topping.



Topping:

½ cup sour cream

3½ TBSP sugar

1 tsp vanilla

Mix well. Now you can add fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries, or chocolate chips, or whatever you'd like (or leave plain). Spoon topping onto pie, or cupcakes and bake another 10 minutes.

Cool for at least 5 hours
