New York cheesecake is a classic dessert loved by many. With its smooth and creamy texture, it's hard to resist a slice of this delicious cake.

Making it from scratch may seem daunting, but with the right recipe and technique, you can create a perfect New York cheesecake in your own kitchen.

– 2 cups graham cracker crumbs – 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted – 2 tablespoons granulated sugar – 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature

– 1/4 cup cornstarch – 1 tablespoon vanilla extract – 2 teaspoons lemon juice – 4 large eggs – 2/3 cup sour cream – 1/3 cup heavy cream – 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.

Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter and sugar.

Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add in the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, beating until well combined and smooth.

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add in the sour cream and heavy cream, and mix until everything is well combined.

Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into desired portions. Enjoy your classic New York cheesecake!
