New York Style Cheesecake

New York style cheesecake is always popular, made with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and a strawberry whipped cream topping.
Ingredients:

5 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
---
Filling:
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
4 eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325°.
Combine crust ingredients and press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in condensed milk; beat until smooth. Add flour, eggs, and vanilla; beat until sell blended. Pour into prepared crust. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in heavy duty foil; place the pan in a shallow baking pan, such as a jelly roll pan. Put the pans in the oven and add about 2 cups of hot water to the shallow baking pan, or to a depth of about 1/2-inch. Bake for 1 hour, or until lightly browned. The cheesecake will be just slightly jiggly in the center. Cool. Chill and garnish with dollops of whipped cream around edge and sliced fresh strawberries.
