To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by greasing it with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar and beat until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, add in the vanilla extract and heavy cream and continue to mix until everything is well combined.
Now, it's time to make the crust. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add in the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add in the ice water, a little at a time, until the dough comes together.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to the prepared pie dish. Trim off any excess dough and crimp the edges. Pour the cheesecake filling into the crust.
Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set. While the pie is baking, prepare the topping by combining the sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Once the pie is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then, spread the sour cream topping over the pie and return it to the oven to bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. You can serve it as is, or top it with your favorite fruit or chocolate sauce for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy your delicious Italian cheesecake pie!
