Ingredients

Scale
  • For the crust:
    • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 1/4 cup sugar
  • For the filling:
    • 16 oz cream cheese, softened

  • For the churro topping:
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Mix crushed graham crackers, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the filling over the crust in the pan.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set.
  6. Combine 1/4 cup sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping.
  7. Brush the top of the cheesecake with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
  8. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  9. Before serving, run a knife around the edges of the pan and release the springform.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients, especially cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent cracks.
  • The cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
