Beat egg whites well and set aside. Stir egg yolks with 3/4 cup of sugar.
Add heavy cream and stir well. Add cream cheese and beat until quite smooth
while adding 2 tablespoons of flour. Whip together well. Fold in egg
whites softly. Pour into cheesecake pan. Bake in preheated oven 350
degrees for one hour and 5 minutes (depending on your oven). Cheesecake
