– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

4. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
5. Gradually add flour to the mixture, continuing to beat until smooth.
6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set, and the center has a slight jiggle.
8. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
9. Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cheesecake out of the pan.
10. Cut the cheesecake into bite-sized squares and top each with your choice of assorted fruit preserves or fresh fruit.
