  7. Mix in sour cream and flour until just combined.
  8. Pour filling over the cooled crust.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  10. Turn off oven, leave cheesecake inside with door slightly open for 1 hour.
  11. Remove and cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  12. Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla (1 tsp) until stiff peaks form.
  13. Spread whipped cream over chilled cheesecake before serving.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for the smoothest filling and to prevent lumps.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Once eggs and flour are added, mix only until just combined to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
  • Gradual Cooling is Key: Leaving the cheesecake in the cooling oven helps prevent cracks from rapid temperature changes.
