4-8 ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature

4 eggs

3 Tablespoons flour

1 whole vanilla bean, opened and knife scrape out the tidbits inside.

Mix crumbs and pecans well, Mix syrup with melted butter.Slowly drizzle in to the crumb mixture. Press in bottom of 10 inch springform pan.

prevents cracking of your cake.)

Beat cream cheese with mixer. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the creme fraiche ( or sour cream) and vanilla bean. Mix well.

pour into the prepared pan. Slowly drizzle a bit of syrup onto cake if desired..it will sink in and give an extra zip if you have a sweet tooth.

Bake at 500 for a full 10 minutes, turn oven down to 200 and bake about 1 hour and 40 min, or until a thermometer reads 150 degrees.

Remove from oven and carefully run a knife or spatula around the inside edge of pan to loosen the cheesecake (helps prevent the surface from cracking as it cools for about an hour))

Remove sides of pan.

Chill, they taste much better after sitting for a day. If feeling adventerous, pressed chopped nuts on sides and drizzle with maple before serving.

I made a whipped cream with heavy cream and just a touch of syrup.
