New York Cheesecake
Ingredients
digestive biscuits
200 g
unsalted butter (melted)
90 g
cream cheese (Philadelphia)
800 g
granulated sugar
160 g
vanilla extract
1 tsp
eggs
4
Instructions
1
Make the Crust
Crush the biscuits into a sand-like texture. Mix with the melted butter. Spread evenly in the bottom of a 23 cm springform pan (pre-greased with butter), press firmly, and refrigerate.
2
Make the Filling
Beat the cream cheese with the sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed; you may increase the speed at the end for a smoother, fluffier filling.
3
Bake
Pour the filling into the pan and bake in a water bath in a preheated oven at 150°C. Place the pan in a roasting pan filled with water up to 3/4 the height of the springform pan. Bake for about 30–40 minutes; do not overbake — the center should remain soft. Remove, let cool, then refrigerate overnight.
