Build your cart with Tasty, then choose how you want to get your order from Walmart.
Preheat the oven to 350ĖF (180ĖC). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the inside edges of the pan with parchment paper.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the melted butter. Pulse to combine until the texture is similar to wet sand.
Press the graham cracker crumbs into the prepared pan, using a measuring cup to compact in even layer.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
Once cool, line the sides of the springform pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, remaining 2 cups (400 G) of sugar, and the salt. Using an electric hand mixer, blend until well-combined and fluffy.
Add the heavy cream and beat to incorporate.
Add the sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla bean seeds, and beat to combine.
Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until fully combined, making sure not to over-beat. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust.
Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with foil and place the pan in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with 1 inch (2 cm) of boiling water.
Gently transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 1 hour.
Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat and let the cheesecake rest for 1 hour.
Remove the springform pan from the baking dish and unwrap the foil. Run a paring knife gently around the outside of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release the springform pan. Remove the parchment paper lining.
Top with fresh berries, if desired.
Dip a knife into hot water for clean slices, then slice and serve.
Enjoy!

I made this cheesecake for my family of 5. It came out amazing! I followed the recipe exactly as stated and it worked perfectly. I did the whole water bath process and it seemed to do the trick because as you can see the cheesecake is intact and there are no cracks at all. The crust was fine and the berries look really pretty on top. I also love the taste :)

THIS IS THE BEST CHEESECAKE IāVE EVER HAD.
You guys omg this is seriously so worth it and yeah the vanilla bean is not really necessary but it makes all the difference. I decided to do a layer of chocolate ganache for mine and omg Iām so proud.

I used only 1 cup and 3/4 of sugar instead of the full 2 cups. I also was really skeptical about turning off the oven and leaving the cheesecake in it after it was done baking. I think thatās what really helped make sure the cheesecake was cooked thoroughly! My family is obsessed and says this is the best cheesecake I have baked for them yet!! ā¤ļø

THIS IS THE BEST CHEESECAKE IāVE EVER HAD. You guys omg this is seriously so worth it and yeah the vanilla bean is not really necessary but it makes all the difference. I decided to do a layer of chocolate ganache for mine and omg Iām so proud.

I used only 1 cup and 3/4 of sugar instead of the full 2 cups. I also was really skeptical about turning off the oven and leaving the cheesecake in it after it was done baking. I think thatās what really helped make sure the cheesecake was cooked thoroughly! My family is obsessed and says this is the best cheesecake I have baked for them yet!! ā¤ļø

Build your cart with Tasty, then choose how you want to get your order from Walmart.
1. Preheat the oven to 350ĖF (180ĖC). Grease a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the inside edges of the pan with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the graham crackers, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and the melted butter. Pulse to combine until the texture is similar to wet sand.
3. Press the graham cracker crumbs into the prepared pan, using a measuring cup to compact in even layer.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature.
5. Once cool, line the sides of the springform pan with parchment paper.
6. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, remaining 2 cups (400 G) of sugar, and the salt. Using an electric hand mixer, blend until well-combined and fluffy.
7. Add the heavy cream and beat to incorporate.
8. Add the sour cream, flour, salt, and vanilla bean seeds, and beat to combine.
9. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until fully combined, making sure not to over-beat. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
10. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust.
11. Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with foil and place the pan in a large baking dish. Fill the dish with 1 inch (2 cm) of boiling water.
12. Gently transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 1 hour.
13. Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat and let the cheesecake rest for 1 hour.
14. Remove the springform pan from the baking dish and unwrap the foil. Run a paring knife gently around the outside of the cheesecake to loosen it from the sides of the pan.
15. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator overnight.
16. Remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and release the springform pan. Remove the parchment paper lining.
17. Top with fresh berries, if desired.
18. Dip a knife into hot water for clean slices, then slice and serve.
19. Enjoy\!

I made this cheesecake for my family of 5. It came out amazing! I followed the recipe exactly as stated and it worked perfectly. I did the whole water bath process and it seemed to do the trick because as you can see the cheesecake is intact and there are no cracks at all. The crust was fine and the berries look really pretty on top. I also love the taste :)
