Cheesecake Supreme Recipe

1. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of the white sugar, and the melted butter together. Press mixture into the bottom of one 10 inch springform pan.

2. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs and egg yolks (plus optional extract); mix until smooth. Add the remaining 1 3/4 cups white sugar, the flour and the heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.

3. Do not preheat oven. Bake at 200 degrees F for 3 hours and 10 minutes, then turn oven off. Crack open oven and let cheesecake cool in oven for 1 hour. Add fruit topping (Cherry is very nice with spinkled almonds, but so is any fruit it in season.) Let cool in refrigerator for at least 8 hours. Best after 24 hours of chilling.
