For the cream cheese topping (double for a 10-inch cheesecake):
•
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
•
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
•
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
•
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
•
1 tablespoon sour cream
•
Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly great a 9 or 10-inch springform pan with baking spray and place on a sheet pan; set aside (I used a 9-inch in the photo above).
