Instructions

 

For the crust:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Grease a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick cooking spray.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan up to the sides, using the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
• Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

For the filling:

• In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until well combined.
• Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Pour the filling over the cooled crust.
• Cover the bottom and sides of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from getting in.
• Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan, filling it about 1 inch high.
• Bake the cheesecake for 45 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
• Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan and let it cool completely before removing it from the springform pan.
• Serve the cheesecake chilled.
