4 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 1/3 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cornstarch
4 eggs
1/2 c. heavy cream

Preparation

Now here's the patented trick!
Beat the cream cheese with 1/2 cup heavy cream on medium speed with electric beaters until smooth (or use a fork and hand beat 5622 strokes).
Add the sugar as you're beating.
Scrape the bowl frequently.
In a separate bowl, mix and beat the eggs, vanilla and cornstarch (EVC).
Again, energize the electric beaters and beat the cream cheese as you're pouring in the EVC (or use a fork and hand beat 5622 strokes). Scrape the bowl frequently.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Butter a 9-inch spring-form pan; line with crust of your choice and pour in cheese mixture.
Place on oven rack.
Add hot water to large pan to depth of 1 and 1/2 inches.
Bake in preheated 350\u00b0 oven for 1 hour.
Turn off oven and leave in cake, with door closed, one more hour.
Remove cheese cake from water bath to wire rack to cool completely.
