For the Crust
  • 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Melted coconut oil can be used as a dairy-free alternative.
For the Filling
  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese Use full-fat for best results.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Consider a no-sugar alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla extract.
  • 3 large Eggs Ensure they are at room temperature.

Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until fine. Mix with sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until it resembles wet sand. Press into a 9-inch pie plate or springform pan.
  3. Blend softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  4. Pour filling into the crust and smooth the surface. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are set and the center is jiggly. Turn off oven and crack the door; cool for 45-60 minutes.
  5. Transfer to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
