Eric's Best New York Style Cheesecake

SUBMITTED BY: EDO570 PHOTO BY: foodaholic

"This New York Cheesecake rivals the best! It uses amaretto instead of lemon flavor and is VERY rich, and has no crust to compete with it's decadent flavor. Serves 16 lucky people. Serve with fresh sliced fruit or berries and fresh whipped cream. "

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 3/4 cups white sugar
  • 1/8 cup cornstarch
  • 1 fluid ounce amaretto liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 egg yolks

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Place oven shelf in the center of oven and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Wrap the outside of a 9 inch springform pan with foil. Generously butter the inside of the pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in sugar and cornstarch. Blend in sour cream and whipping cream. Add amaretto and vanilla. Stir in eggs and egg yolk one at a time, mixing thoroughly between each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  3. Pour mixture into prepared springform pan. Place pan in another pan at least one inch wider than cake pan and add warm water to the outer pan to create a water bath for the cake (this prevents cracks in your cheesecake). Bake on the center rack of oven for 70 minutes.
  4. Turn oven off and allow to cool with oven door open for one hour. Then remove cake from water bath and chill at least 3 hours before removing from springform pan.
