1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
2
Prepare the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until creamy. Add sour cream, heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour, then mix until smooth and fully combined.
3
Combine and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
4
Cooling
Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Afterward, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
