New York Style Cheesecake Recipe

3 Tbsp. butter (softened)

3 Tbsp. sugar

9" springform pan. Bake in a preheated

325 F oven for 10 minutes.

4-8 oz. bars cream cheese (softened)

1 cup sugar

3 Tbsp. flour

4 eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1/3-1/2 way up side of springform pan. Bake in a preheated

450 F oven for 10 minutes. Then reduce heat to

250 F and bake

1 hour or until cheesecake is set. Allow cake to stand at room temperature until it is FULLY cooled. Do NOT refrigerate it until it is completely cooled to avoid cracking.

1/2 cup-

1 cup of sugar and a couple tablespoons cornstarch. Then let it sit overnight in the refrigerator. Top the cheesecake with the fruit and fresh whipped cream. I've also drizzled it with caramel and chocolate ice cream topping and sprinkled it with miniature chocolate chips and a dollop of whipped cream.
