This is not my recipe. It’s a recipe from a resturant in Brooklyn, but it’s the BEST cheesecake I have ever eaten!!!
Cheesecake -
4 8-0z pkgs cream cheese –
1 2/3 cup sugar –
1/4 cup corn starch –
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract –
2 extra large eggs –
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Place one 8-oz pkg of the cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar and the cornstarch in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low until creamy, about 3 minutes, then beat in the remaining 3 packages of cream cheese. Increase mixer speed to high and beat at the remaining 1 1/3 cups of the sugar, then beat in the vanilla. Blend in the eggs, one at a time, beating the batter well after adding each one. Blend in the heavy cream. At this point, mix the filling only until completely blended. Be careful not to over mix the batter. Remove 1 ½ cups of the batter.
I like the gramcracker crust, but you can put it in what ever crust you like best.
