Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with Walnut Crust

Say Cheesecake This is no ordinary cheesecake. Cookbook author Peggy Cullen bakes her ethereal version without the customary water bath, creating a firm yet silky custard, which she then tops with a layer of tangy sour cream. Her walnut crust is a wonderful counterpoint, but this cheesecake could even stand alone.

Peggy Cullen is the author of Got Milk? The Cookie Book.
