New York-Style Cheesecake

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

3. 3

   Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened. Press crumb mixture into the bottom and about 1/2-inch up the sides of the springform pan.

4. 4

   Whisk flour, sour cream, and vanilla extract in bowl. Set aside.

5. 5

   Stir cream cheese and sugar with a wooden spoon in a large bowl until evenly incorporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Pour milk into cream cheese mixture and whisk until just combined.

7. 7

   Whisk in eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition.

8. 8

   Stir in lemon zest, orange zest, and sour cream mixture; whisk until just incorporated.

9. 9

   Pour mixture into prepared springform pan.

10. 10

    Bake in the preheated oven until the edges have nicely puffed and the surface of the cheesecake is firm except for a small spot in the center that will jiggle when the pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour.

11. 11

    When the cheesecake is done, turn off the oven and let it cool in the oven for 3 to 4 hours. This prevents any cracks from forming on the top of the cheesecake.
