New York Cheesecake




15 graham crackers, crushed (this will give you a thick crust)
5 tablespoons butter, melted

4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 325, the picture above was cooked at 350 and so I recommend turning it down so it doesn't brown so much. Grease a 9 inch springform pan.

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.

In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.

Cook with a bowl of water under the cheesecake. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hr-1hr 20 mins. Turn the oven off, and let it cool in oven with the door slightly open; this prevents cracking. I like to then move it to the counter for 30 mins before I move it into the fridge to prevent cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving, needs to set for about 8 hrs.
