4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

5. Mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until well combined.

6. Pour the mixture over the graham cracker crust in the springform pan.

8. Turn off the oven, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about 30 minutes.

9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and let it cool to room temperature.

10. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

11. Before serving, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and garnish with fresh berries or whipped cream. Enjoy!
