Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 lb cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar, or splenda
1/4 cup cornstarch , plus 3/4 tsp
1 tbsp lemon juice
6 large eggs
7 tbsp heavy cream
14 oz sour cream
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out (use seeds, put empty bean in a cannister of sugar to flavor sugar)
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Cream together the cream cheese, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Add eggs slowly, one at a time. Scrape bowl and paddle often. Add in heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla bean seeds and vanilla extract. Scrape sides of bowl and paddle. Pour into container; cover and refrigerate overnight. (The cheesecake filled our springform pan almost to overflowing.)
Bake at 300 degrees for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes in hot water bath until set. After removing from oven, loosen edge around cheesecake with a knife. This will help prevent cracking. Refrigerate overnight and serve on third day with your favorite topping.
Hot water bath: To bake in a hot water bath, fill a large roasting pan about 2/3's of the way with hot water and set in oven. Place springform pan encased in heavy aluminum foil in center of pan.
NOTE: I baked this without a crust to make this GF, but to make a traditional crust (you could make a GF one) mix:
8 to 10 ounces graham cracker crumbs with 1 stick of melted butter and 2 T sugar. Press into bottom of a 9 springform pan and bake for 15 minutes at 350. Wrap pan with foil prior to baking.
