New York Style Cheesecake


INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinammon
dash of nutmeg

4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch spring form pan. Place a pan with water on lowest oven rack.
2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of spring form pan.
3. In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.

MODIFICATIONS
Chocolate version:
1. Replace milk with 1/2 cup melted chocolate chips
2. Use chocolate graham crackers as a crust

Flavors:
1. Replace milk with Kahlua or Irish cream liquor
