How to Make Heavenly Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually beat in sugar until well combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Pour batter into prepared springform pan.
  7. Place springform pan in a larger roasting pan. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  8. Bake for 80 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 in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
