Ingredients

8 oz of Sour Cream
1 tsp of Onion Powder
1 tsp of Garlic Powder
2 tsp of dried Dill
1/2 tsp dried Basil
Salt and Pepper to taste
A squeeze of fresh lemon adjust according to taste
10 inch dutch oven
8 inch spring form pan
aluminum foil
2 cups water
30 pieces of charcoal more may be needed

Crust

1 cup Honey Maid Graham Crackers
1/4 cup butter melted
2 Tbs sugar

Filling

2- 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup marshmallow fluff
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal preference.
Keep chilled until ready to serve.
Serve with pizza and veggie sides.
Start your charcoal. Light it, and get it going so it is hot. Depending on weather conditions, make a foil tent around it to keep it hot.
Crush graham crackers
Mix with melted butter and sugar to form a crust
Press the Honey Maid graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a springform pan
Put 2 cups of water in the bottom of a 10 inch dutch oven
Place 8 charcoal pieces under the dutch oven, and 12 on the lid, put the lid over the top and start heating the dutch oven and water.
While that is heating, mix together the filling. Use a hand mixer, or just mix really well, and mix the cream cheese and sugar, vanilla, marshmallow fluff, and heaving whipping cream.
When well mixed, add the eggs, one at a time, and blend until just incorporated. Do not over mix. Pour over crust into springform pan. If your pan is not airtight, put foil around the bottom edge so the water bath does not seep in and ruin your cheesecake.
Carefully lift the lid to the dutch oven, and place the springform inside the heated water.
Replace lid and let cook for about 1- 1 1/2 hours, until no longer jiggly in center. Replace coals as needed to keep the dutch oven hot and heating evenly.
Once cooked, remove from dutch oven, and let cool. Then top as you wish. For me it was chocolate ganache and graham crackers.

Notes

I replaced a few coals about half way through the process. 3 on top, and added to extras on bottom at the 30 minute mark. It took just oven an hour for my cheesecake to cook.
