Ingredients

2x
Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings
Crust:
1 ½
cups
graham cracker crumbs
ÂĽ
cup
finely ground walnuts
1
tablespoon
cinnamon sugar
½
cup
butter, melted
Filling:
3
(8 ounce) packages
cream cheese, softened
Âľ
cup
white sugar
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
1
cup
heavy whipping cream
3
large
eggs, slightly beaten
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
To make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, and cinnamon sugar in the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Add melted butter and mix well. Press into the bottom of the pan and 1 to 2 inches up the sides. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
While crust chills, make the filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in heavy cream on low speed until mixture is smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, on low speed until combined. Pour filling into crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until center appears almost set when gently shaken, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
Run a butter knife around edge of cheesecake to loosen from pan. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Unclip the side of the pan and remove the ring. Let cool for another 30 minutes; chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours to overnight before serving.
Cook’s Note
This cheesecake improves after chilling — bake one day ahead for best flavor and texture.
Use pecans or almonds in the crust for a different flavor.
Serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate curls for garnish.

Great flavors
Worth the effort
A keeper\!
This cheesecake has no right to be as good as it is. It's O.M.G. delicious!! Creamy, decadent, smooth, and not to sweet. It's downright heavenly. My only changes to the recipe were to prebake the crust instead of freezing it (I prefer a crisper crust. I baked it for 18 minutes then let it cool completely before adding the filling); and to add 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the filling. My cheesecake needed 55 minutes total to bake, as well. I then let it cool completely to room temp, then fridged it overnight. It set up beautifully. I could go on and on about how good this cheesecake is--but I think I'd rather shut myself up and eat some more of it!! Thank you for sharing your recipe\!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ÂĽ cup finely ground walnuts
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
Filling:
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- Âľ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 large eggs, slightly beaten
## Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. To make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, and cinnamon sugar in the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Add melted butter and mix well. Press into the bottom of the pan and 1 to 2 inches up the sides. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
3. While crust chills, make the filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in heavy cream on low speed until mixture is smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, on low speed until combined. Pour filling into crust.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until center appears almost set when gently shaken, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
5. Run a butter knife around edge of cheesecake to loosen from pan. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Unclip the side of the pan and remove the ring. Let cool for another 30 minutes; chill in the refrigerator at least 4 hours to overnight before serving.
### Cook’s Note
This cheesecake improves after chilling — bake one day ahead for best flavor and texture.
Use pecans or almonds in the crust for a different flavor.
Serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate curls for garnish.
