Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 Butter or margarine
6 Graham cracker crumbs
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 packages Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup heavy cream
4 egg yolks

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

  • Heat your oven to 325°F degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter or margarine, and ground nutmeg until well mixed.
  • Press the mixture onto the bottom and 1 1/2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, flour, rum, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing at low speed after each addition until fully incorporated.
  • Blend in the heavy cream and egg yolks until the filling is smooth and well combined.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:

  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  • Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
  • To ensure even baking, rotate the cheesecake halfway through the baking time.
  • Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife or metal spatula around the rim of the pan to loosen the cake.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before removing the rim of the pan.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set properly.

4. Garnish and Serve:
