Recipe Introduction


Lindy's of New York City, which closed in 1969, served a cheesecake known as "an integral part of the city" by the NY Times.



List of Ingredients




1/2 C. fine cake crumbs or graham cracker crumbs
Butter
1 1/2 lb. cream cheese (3 large packages)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 C. heavy cream
3/4 C. plus 2 T. sugar
4 large eggs
2 T. sour cream
1/4 C. half-and-half



Recipe



Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Generously butter an 8 x 2-inch round cake pan or springform pan; fill with the crumbs and shake out excess.

Add cream to cream cheese and sugar, mixing slowly, do not beat fast! (the cheesecake will rise like a soufflé, otherwise) Add eggs, one at a time. Finish with vanilla, sour cream and half and half.

Pour mixture in pan and smooth the surface.

Set pan in a larger pan filled with hot water. Bake at 375ºF for one to one hour, fifteen minutes; until the center does not quiver when pan is shaken. Remove from oven...let stand about 10 minutes then invert on plate and unmold while still hot. Chill and then ENJOY!!!

YIELD: 16 Servings
