Marx Brothers Cheesecake

"This recipe came from Bon Appetit, April 1989. The flavor is great, but the baking time is a little off. I may try it at 300 or 350 next time."

  1. If I could give this recipe more stars I would. You might have to play with it to get it just right. Have all your ingredients at room temperature and use a stand mixer beat the cheese and sugar the the eggs and sour cream. I have cut the recipe in half and still have 8 servings that are too much unless you are really hungry. I don't use the pecans but put crumbs up the side a little way. I have to check the doneness before I take it out.
