This is intended to help others that need to know what 3/8 pound of butter is as i did.... it is 1 and 1/2 sticks of butter Also 7/8 cup sour cream is 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons -
This was great and wicked easy to make. I had been reading other recipes and I saw one that called for a crust made out of coconut cookies, so I bought a cheap brand of macaroons, crushed them and used them for the crust. It was absolutely delicious. Next time I make it I will do the same although I am thinking of adding some toasted coconut to the top as well. -
This is heaven, for sure! What a great cheese cake. Light and refreshing. The graham cracker crust is perfect for this. This is a keeper and I can't wait to make it again. Thanks for sharing, MA in Florida.

Hello Everyone
After a couple of years of using many, many recipes off this wonderful web-site, I finally decided to sign on. I am a retired widow living in the St. Petersburg area of Florida. I grew up in Minnesota and lived 30 years in the Boston area before moving to Florida 17 years ago. I was a commercial real estate broker. After my husband passed away I switched gears and became a cruise agent (it was a tough job, but somebody has to do it-LOL). I really enjoyed the traveling and meeting many new people. I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren and I am very fortunate that they live in this area and I get to see them often. My favorite pastimes are reading, walking (usually with my dog), and cooking. My pet peeve is crabby people!
