    Categories: Desserts, Dairy, Cheese, Fruits, Breads
    Yield: 8 Servings

    Nonstick spray; for
    - greasing
    7 oz Graham cracker
    2 c + 1 tbsugar; divided
    5 tb Unsalted butter; melted
    32 oz Cream cheese; room temp
    1/2 c Heavy cream
    2 c Sour cream
    5 tb All-purpose flour
    pn Salt
    1 Vanilla bean
    4 lg Eggs
    Boiling water; for baking
    Mixed berries; for serving

    Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Grease a 10" (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray.
    Line the inside edges of the pan with parchment paper.

    In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham
    crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the melted butter.
    Pulse to combine until the texture is similar to wet
    sand.

    Press the graham cracker crumbs into the prepared pan,
    using a measuring cup to compact in even layer.

    Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a
    wire rack and let cool to room temperature.

    Once cool, line the sides of the springform pan with
    parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, remaining 2
    cups (400 G) of sugar, and the salt. Using an electric
    hand mixer, blend until well-combined and fluffy.

    Add the heavy cream and beat to incorporate.

    Add the sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla bean seeds,
    and beat to combine.

    Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until fully combined,
    making sure not to over-beat. The mixture should be
    smooth and creamy.

    Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust.

    Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with foil
    and place the pan in a large baking dish. Fill the dish
    with 1" (2 cm) of boiling water.

    Gently transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for
    one hour.

    Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat and let
    the cheesecake rest for 1 hour.

    Remove the springform pan from the baking dish and
    unwrap the foil. Run a paring knife gently around the
    outside of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of
    the pan.

    Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer to the
    refrigerator overnight.

    Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release
    the springform pan. Remove the parchment paper lining.

    Top with fresh berries.

    Dip a knife into hot water for clean slices, then slice
    and serve.

    Enjoy!
