Steps:

• Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, ground almonds, and salt in a bowl. Drizzle melted butter and stir until evenly moistened. Press into the bottom and up the sides (as far as it'll go) of a lightly buttered 10-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and salt and beat until smooth. Add flour and egg yolks and mix thoroughly. Stir in sour cream, lemon juice, vanilla and nutmeg and beat until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until it forms stiff peaks. Fold thoroughly into cream cheese mixture; no need to be terribly gentle with it, but you do want the whites to be evenly incorporated. Pour into chilled crust.
• Bake cheesecake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until top is puffed and lightly golden brown. There will be cracks, but that's what the sour cream topping is for. Without opening the oven door, turn the oven off, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven as it cools for 1 hour. Do not take the cheesecake immediately out of the hot oven or it will fall. After an hour, remove cheesecake and heat oven to 450 degrees.
• While the cheesecake is cooling, make the sour cream topping by whisking the sour cream, sugar and vanilla together until smooth. Once the cheesecake has cooled for an hour, pour the sour cream topping over top. Using a rubber spatula or offset spatula, smooth out the surface.
• Place back into the oven (remember the heat should have been increased to 450° F) and bake for about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to let cool to room temperature.
• Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to set. ***Don't put cheesecake in the fridge until it has cooled to room temperature.***.

NEW YORK STYLE SOUR CREAM CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and wrap a 9 inch spring form pan in aluminum foil and set aside.
• Mix together crumbs, butter sugar and cinnamon until even and press into bottom of springform pan. I use a coffee tamper but you can use a glass or any flat bottomed item.
• Bake crust for 10 minutes remove and set aside to cool.
• For the filling:.
• Reduce oven temp to 250 (It is critical to make sure your oven maintains the proper temperature for this recipe).
• Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix one of the blocks of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cornstarch on medium until it starts to incorporate, 2-3 minutes, scrape down the bowl.
• Add the rest of the cream cheese and sugar, one block and then the 1/2 block at a time with about 1/2 the sugar mixture for each additon (using up the other 3/4 cup so roughly divide it in half) ,and beat on medium until it begins to mix and break down, about 3-5 minutes.
• Once those 3 ingredients are incorporated, stop mixing and scrape down sides of the bowl.
• Add in 1/2 the eggs and vanilla and mix on medium for 1-2 minutes. Stop and scrape down bowl again.
• Mix in remaining eggs and cream and mix until even and no more lumps appear, then add the sour cream and mix until combined (no lumps should appear at this point).
• Pour Batter on top of cooled crust and prepare your water bath. Place your springform pan in a larger pan like a roasting pan as long as the sides of the larger pan are as tall as the springform, you'll be fine.
• Fill the larger pan with hot water that is on the verge of boiling until it comes up about 1" the sides of the springform pan.
• Put pan in 250 degree oven for 2 hours. After this time shut off oven, open door for about 1 minute and let the cake rest in the water bath in the oven (off) for one more hour.
• Remove your cheesecake from the oven and let it sit on a draft free counter for 1 more hour, then refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
• Slice with a long thin knife, a carving knife will work. Start by running you knife under hot water and wiping dry and then pushing the knife from the top of the cake to the crust and pulling the knife out along the bottom. I usually cut this cake into 16 slices (very rich) Refrigerate leftovers.
