How to Make Christmas Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your graham cracker crust: Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups mincemeat.
  7. Pour mixture over the prepared crust.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
