Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 220°. and oil a 9inch pan (grease the sides of the pan as well)

3. In another bowl mix powdered sugar with cream cheese and milk using a spoon until smooth, and then mix in the eggs one at a time but do not over mix. Mix in milk, sour cream/labaneh, vanilla and flour until smooth.
4. Pour filling into prepared crust.
5. Wrap your pan in 2 layers of aluminium foil and place in a water bath (a bigger pan with 1 inch of water in it) then place in preheated oven.
6. Bake for 60 minutes, turn the oven off and let the cake cool with door closed for 1-2 hours.
7. Chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving (Recommended 6 hours).
8. Top with your favourite topping (I used cherry pie filling and canned fruits).

* To prevent cracking make sure to grease the sides of the pan before pressing the graham crackers crust.

* Make sure that your ingredients are room temperature and are not cold otherwise your cake will be lumpy.
