How to Make Just Right Easy Cheese Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
- Make the crust: In a food processor, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Pulse until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
- Wipe the food processor bowl and blade clean.
- Make the filling: Add softened cream cheese and sugar to the food processor. Process until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, processing until just combined after each addition.
- Stir in vanilla extract (and optional lemon juice).
- Pour the filling over the crust.
- Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (water bath).
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
- Top with fresh berries or your favorite topping before serving.
