Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F ( 180°C).
- Make the base by mixing the crushed cookies and butter and press into the bottom of a 10" springform pan.
- Place in preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes until the edges are just beginning to color. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- IMPORTANT: Change oven temperature to 475°F (245°C).
- In the bowl of a large stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the sugar. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then add the remaining ingredients: eggs, cream, flour, yolks, vanilla and rind. Beat well for about 5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Pour cheesecake batter into the the springform pan with the cooled base and bake for 12 minutes (see oven temp change above), then lower oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue to bake for another 35 minutes.
- At the end of this cooking time, turn off the oven, but allow the cheesecake to remain in the oven for another 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- When completely cool, cover and refrigerate overnight or a minimum of 6 hours.
- Remove the New York-style cheesecake from the fridge and run a knife along the side of the tin, then remove the the springform side. Place onto a serving plate and top with your choice of fruit, jelly or whatever you choose. Alternatively, cut slices and place on individual serving plates then place the topping on each piece (this is what I usually do).
Notes
- Top with your choice of fruit, fruit filling, cream, syrups or chocolate sauce.
