How Do You Make New York Cheesecake (Fruit Optional)?
Make an amazing New York style cheesecake. Preheat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/2 cup of white sugar together. Press the mixture into the bottom of the spring-form pan (I prefer the 10 inch pan). Combine cream cheese, eggs, and eggs yolks in a large bowl and mix until smooth. Add the 1 3/4 of white sugar, flour, and the heavy whipping cream. Blend all ingredients until smooth, and pour into prepared pan. Bake in 200 degree oven for 3 hours and 15 minutes. Once time is up, turn the oven off and crack oven door and let the cheesecake cool off in the oven for an hour. After the hour is up, place cheesecake in the fridge AT LEAST overnight. Optional fruit topping: Place as much fruit as you want on top of the cheesecake. Crush the remaining fruit in a strainer and collect the juice that comes out. Add sugar to the fruit juice, stir, and pour over the fruit and cheesecake.
