Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cups white sugar
• 1 egg , beaten
• 0.5 cups butter , softened
• 2.5 pounds cream cheese , softened
• 1.75 cups white sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 5 eggs
• 2 eggs yolks
• 0.25 cups heavy whipping cream

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a 10 inch springform pan with spray oil. Note: You could use a 9x13 inch pan instead.
2. 2 To make the crust: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 cup butter or margarine. Spread to the edges of the pan. Prick all over with a fork, then bake 15 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Allow to cool.
3. 3 Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 3/4 cups sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 5 eggs and the yolks and mix thoroughly. Add cream and mix only enough to blend.
4. 4 Pour filling over crust and bake for 10 minutes at 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Reduce temperature to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) and continue to bake for one hour. Turn oven off, but leave cake in for another hour. Don't worry if it looks a little jiggly in the center.
5. 5 Chill overnight. This is imperative! If desired, top with your favorite fruit or serve plain.
