A dense, thick cheesecake with a shortdough crust. This is THE definitive one! You’ll never use another cheesecake recipe after you try this.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 ½ pounds cream cheese, softened
- 5 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ¾ cups white sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a 10 inch springform pan with spray oil. Note: You could use a 9×13 inch pan instead.
Step 2
To make the crust: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Spread to the edges of the pan. Prick all over with a fork, then bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Allow to cool.
Step 3
Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 5 eggs and the yolks and mix thoroughly. Add cream and mix only enough to blend.
Step 4
Pour filling over crust and bake for 10 minutes at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Reduce temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and continue to bake for one hour. Turn oven off, but leave cake in for another hour. Don't worry if it looks a little jiggly in the center.
Step 5
Chill overnight. This is imperative! If desired, top with your favorite fruit or serve plain.
