New York Cheesecake

Pulse the cookies in a food processor until fine, then mix with the melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a parchment-lined springform pan.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar. Whisk in the sour cream, followed by the eggs, heavy cream, cornstarch, and lemon juice one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

Wrap the outside of the pan securely in foil to prevent leaks. Pour the filling over the crust, place the pan inside a larger roasting pan, and pour boiling water into the outer pan. Bake at 170°C (340°F) for one hour.
