NY Cheesecake with Strawberries

Preheat oven to 200 F.

Combine graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup sugar and melted butter. Grease a 10-inch spring form pan with cooking spray and then press mixture into the bottom to create the crust. Place crust in refrigerator while preparing batter.

In a large bowl using a mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, beating until just incorporated. Add the 1 3/4 cup sugar, flour and heavy cream. Beat until smooth. Add vanilla extract and lemon juice, beat until incorporated.

Fill a roasting pan with boiling water and place it on the lower oven shelf. Pour batter into the prepared crust. Put it into the oven on the upper rack and bake for 3 hours 20 minutes. Turn oven off and leave the door slightly open. Leave cheesecake in the turned off oven for 90 minutes. Then remove it from the oven and let cheesecake cool completely on the counter. Then refrigerate overnight.

Serve with fresh strawberries and Nutella.
