Philly Cheesecake image

Just plain-old, extra good cheesecake like the ones from New York and Philly. You may cover the cake with a layer of strawberries, cherries, etc. but, in my opinion, this cake is very, very good and easily stands on its own. The fruit just distracts from its great flavor and texture.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ tablespoons butter
½ cup graham cracker crumbs
12 ounces cream cheese
¾ cup white sugar
4 eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups heavy whipping cream

  • With electric beater, mix cream cheese, sugar, egg yolks, flour, vanilla, and salt. Beat thoroughly and then turn mixer to slowest speed and slowly pour in the cream.
