  • Yield: 1 10-inch cheesecake

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch springform pan.
  • Prepare crust: Process graham crackers in a food processor into fine crumbs. Mix with sugar and melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and increase heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Let cool while you prepare the filling.
  • Place cream cheese cubes into a large mixing bowl; beat on low, scraping the sides as necessary, until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add salt and 1/2 of the sugar; beat until mixed. Mix in flour and remaining sugar. Add lemon juice and vanilla; mix well. Add cream and mix, scraping the sides, until smooth.
  • Add egg yolks and mix until well incorporated. Add eggs in 2 batches, mixing well and scraping the sides as needed. Pour filling into the pan on top of the cooled crust. Gently lift the pan about 1 inch and let it drop onto the countertop; repeat twice more. (This will help air bubbles to rise to the surface, helping to prevent cracking.)
  • Place in the preheated oven on top of a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) without opening the oven door; the edges may look golden and the top may be puffy. Bake for 1 hour 40 more minutes; the internal temperature of the cake should be between 150 and 160 degrees F (66 to 71 degrees C).
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let sit for about 10 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edges to help pull it away from the sides of the pan as the cake contracts. Cover with a large bowl and let sit for 2 to 3 hours. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 5 hours.
