Blend the sour cream, 1/2 C sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a food blender for 1 minute. Add the cream cheese. Blend until smooth.

Pour 2 t of melted butter through the top of the machine. Pour into the spring-form pan.

Bake in the lower third of a 325° oven for 45 minutes.

Refrigerate for 4 hours, preferably overnight, before cutting and serving.
