1
Preheat oven to 375u00b0F.
-
2
To make the Crust: First you want to put your graham crackers in a bowl and crush them to death!
-
3
You want to have very fine pieces!
-
4
After this add 2 teaspoons of softened butter and 2 teaspoons of sugar and mix well.
-
5
Then add to the springform pan and smooth out over the bottom so that it is evenly distributed.
-
6
Your crust is now done!
-
7
As for the cake: Add all cake ingredients except vanilla into a very large mixing bowl and mix until smooth (sometimes after mixing by hand for awhile I use a mixer) then add your 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
-
8
When all done mixing you want to very slowly pour the cake mix into your springform pan with the graham crackers so that you do not push your crust everywhere.
-
9
Pour it in the middle and let spread by itself.
-
10
You want to fill the pan about 3/4 full maybe a little more but not to the top as it will overflow.
-
11
Then put the cheesecake into the oven and place a sheet of aluminum foil lightly on top as not to touch the cake and let cook for 45 minutes.
-
12
Then remove foil and cook an additional 5-15 minutes or until slightly darker yellow tinge becomes visible on the outside top edge.
-
13
Then turn off oven heat and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for 1 hour.
-
14
After this you must remove the cake from the oven and refrigerate it for at least 1 day (2 days and it will cut better).

I know this might be a tease but it will be worth the wait!
-
16
I promise.
