How to Make Gourmet Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, flour, and cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the sour cream mixture to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into prepared springform pan. Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  8. Remove cheesecake from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set.
  10. Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish as desired (Optional: Fresh berries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream).
