Preheat the oven to 160Β°C (325Β°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form an even crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add the heavy cream and flour, mixing on low speed just until smooth. Be careful not to overmix to avoid incorporating too much air.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and gently smooth the top with a spatula.
Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to allow it to cool gradually and prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool it completely at room temperature. Then, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle the top of the cheesecake with additional pure maple syrup and garnish with whipped cream if desired.
Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy this rich and flavorful dessert!
