    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat oven to 175°C / 350°F. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes and let cool.

    Beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and mix until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Mix in sour cream, heavy cream, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and flour until smooth.

    Prepare Water Bath

    Wrap the outside of the springform pan with aluminum foil. Place the pan in a large baking tray. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust. Fill the tray with hot water halfway up the sides of the pan.
