Today is our son-in-law's birthday. I asked our daughter what he wanted for a birthday cake. He requested plain cheesecake with strawberries. I discovered this recipe over 20 years ago and I've never found a cheesecake recipe that I like better. This is definitely NOT heart healthy. What's the old saying...everything in moderation?
Mile High Cheesecake
Crust:
1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
6 T. butter, melted
Filling:
40 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 3/4 c. sugar
3 T. all-purpose flour
1/4 t. salt
1 t. pure vanilla extract
6 large eggs
3/4 c. heavy cream
In a small bowl, mix together crumbs and butter and press into bottom and partially up sides of 10-inch springform pan. Chill while preparing filling.
In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese. Add sugar, flour, salt, and vanilla.
Beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Blend in cream.
Pour into crust. Bake at 500 degrees for 10 minutes and 225 degrees for an additional 70-80 minutes. Filling will be almost set. Cool in a cool oven or a small enclosed space (this will prevent cracking). Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight before serving.
Serves 12-16
