In our humble opinion, this is the most luscious cheese cake ever created. Actually it’s more of a pie than a cake, with a smooth, velvety filling that’s wicked rich. Be sure to chill for 12 hours before serving or it won’t cut properly.

Crust

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

4 tablespoons ground unblanched almonds

6 tablespoons sugar

Filling

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

1-1/2 tablespoons brandy

3 8-ounce packages cream cheese

1 pint sour cream

2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

Beat the eggs, 1 cup sugar, the brandy and cheese together for 20 minutes with the electric mixer. Pour over the crust in the pan and bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees F Cool for 15 minutes.

Mix the sour cream with 25 tablespoons sugar, spread over the cake and return to the oven. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Sauce

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon lemon juice
