How to Make Almond Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs (1 ½ cups), sugar (¼ cup), and melted butter (6 tablespoons) in a medium bowl. Alternatively, pulse all three ingredients in a food processor for 1 minute until combined.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese (16 ounces, softened) until fluffy.
- Gradually beat in milk (1 cup) until smooth.
- Add eggs (3 large), one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in almond extract (1 teaspoon).
- Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes. This helps prevent cracking.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Serve plain or with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings.
