British Version of a New York Style Cheesecake

Use shortbread as base (see recipe).
Bake the base separately (25 cm spring form pan) then prepare the cheese.

0,9 kg cream cheese
1 cup sugar
240 ml sour cream
2 eggs
1 cup flour (I used much less but next time I will try it with a whole cup of flour)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Mix cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar on low speed until cream cheese is softened and smooth. Place in bowl 240 ml sour cream and continue mixing until well blended, at this time add 2 eggs, mix for 2 minutes then add 1 cup flour, and 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, mix on second speed until smooth and creamy.

Take the shortbread and add slowly your cheesecake, now you should have a full pan.
Preheat your oven to 135°C and not more, when your oven is hot place the cake in it and bake for 55 minutes then shut off the oven and let it in there for 3 hours, at the end of this time you should have the most beautiful cheesecake you ever seen, let the cake on the table for 1 1/2 hours then place it in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. Now remove it from the pan and enjoy.
You can top it with anything you like. This time I used strawberries and white chocolate.
