Italian-Style New York Cheesecake
Ingredients
  • 1 pound cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pound ricotta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to its optimal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). To ensure even heating, relocate the oven rack to its central position within the oven.
2
Combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and sugar in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Continue blending until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
3
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, to the mixing bowl. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4
Mix in the butter, flour, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until all components are well combined.
5
Introduce the sour cream and lemon juice into the mixture, blending until these ingredients are fully incorporated.
6
Pour the cheesecake mixture into an ungreased 10-inch springform pan, taking care not to spill any of the mixture.
7
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Subsequently, turn off the oven and allow it to remain in a state of dormancy for an additional 2 hours.
8
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and permit it to cool completely. To facilitate this process, allow the cheesecake to sit undisturbed for a prolonged period.
9
Before serving, utilize a thin spatula to loosen the cheesecake from its pan. Carefully release the springform pan, taking note of any residual mixture.
10
Serve the cheesecake at room temperature or chilled; if leftovers remain, refrigerate them for later consumption.
