| Boilerpipe Text | Easy Cheesecake
Cheesecake may have a reputation for being fussy, but this cheesecake recipe keeps things refreshingly simple. No springform pan, no water bath — just four basic ingredients for the filling: cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. The creamy filling comes together in minutes and is poured into a press-in graham cracker crust. The cheesecake is ready to chill after a quick 30-minute bake. You'll be eating cheesecake in no time!

Easy Cheesecake
Recipe by [PJ Hamel](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/author/pj-hamel)
[490 Reviews 4\.7 out of 5 stars](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/easy-cheesecake-recipe#review-section)
[](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/collections/bake-it-easy)
Cheesecake may have a reputation for being fussy, but this cheesecake recipe keeps things refreshingly simple. No springform pan, no water bath — just four basic ingredients for the filling: cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. The creamy filling comes together in minutes and is poured into a press-in graham cracker crust. The cheesecake is ready to chill after a quick 30-minute bake. You'll be eating cheesecake in no time\!

## Instructions
Bake Mode
Prevent your screen from going dark as you follow along.
1. Select a [pie pan](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/king-arthur-pie-pan) whose inside top dimension is at least 9", and whose height is at least 1 1/4". Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. **To make the crust:** Stir together all of the crust ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined.
3. Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, making a thicker layer on the bottom than on the sides.
4. **To make the cheesecake filling:** In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment, combine the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth on medium-low speed (avoid incorporating too much air). To reduce lumps, make sure the cream cheese is softened, and/or at room temperature. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, again mixing until smooth. (Alternatively, combine the cream cheese and sugar in the work bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, then process again until evenly incorporated.)

By PJ Hamel
5. Set the pie pan onto a baking sheet, if desired; this makes it easier to transport in and out of the oven, and also protects the bottom of the crust from any potential scorching. Pour the filling into the crust.
6. **To bake:** Bake the cheesecake for 20 minutes, then add a [crust shield](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/adjustable-pie-crust-shield); or shield the crust with strips of aluminum foil. Bake for an additional 10 minutes (for a total of about 30 minutes). A digital thermometer inserted into the filling 1" from the edge should read between 165°F and 170°F; the filling won't look entirely set in the center.
7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and set it on a rack to cool. Once the cake is cool, refrigerate it, covered, until you're ready to serve it.
8. Slice the cheesecake into wedges, and serve with fresh fruit if desired.
9. **Storage information:** Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for several days; freeze for longer storage.
## Tips from our Bakers
- **To make a raspberry swirl cheesecake:** Spoon or pipe 1/4 cup (85g) seedless raspberry jam onto the top of the filling once it's in the crust, before baking. Gently (and briefly) swirl the jam into the filling with a butter knife or toothpick; you don't want to combine jam and filling completely, just create a pretty pattern. Be careful not to go too deep, as you don't want to risk scraping the bottom crust. Follow the cheesecake recipe as otherwise directed.
- Want to serve the cheesecake with a tasty raspberry topping? Place the contents of a 12-ounce bag frozen raspberries (a scant 3 cups) in a bowl to thaw. You can hasten the process with a quick trip through the microwave, but don't let the berries cook. Add 1 tablespoon [Instant Clearjel](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/instant-clearjel) to thicken, and stir until well combined. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon, if desired. Spoon the topping over the cheesecake.
- To make individual cheesecakes, see our recipe for [Mini Cheesecakes](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/mini-cheesecakes-recipe). They're equally rich and just as well-balanced while also being adorable\!
- Looking to give your cheesecake a twist without giving up the classic filling? Switch up your graham cracker crust for something more interesting, like chocolate sandwich cookies, or add a pinch of spice. Find additional inspiration in our blog post, [Dos (and don'ts) of great graham cracker crusts](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2022/12/21/how-to-make-great-graham-cracker-crust).

**Straightforward, tasty, and a good portion for 2-4**
Easy to follow recipe, especially if you’re used to cheesecakes that require 5 blocks of cream cheese and hours of bake time (and still may end up cracked). This one will yield you a pretty cheesecake the size of an average pie; perfect to share as a family dessert.

**Half version works too**
Delicious! I made a half version of this recipe to use up a single brick of cream cheese that I had. I made it in a 6 inch round cake pan with 2” sides (and did put it in a water bath because I was concerned about the smaller dimension. I may try this again without the water bath, as I think it will...

**Lovely easy cheesecake\!**
Made with Nancy’s probiotic cream cheese. Absolutely lovely recipe. Definitely not a traditional-looking cheese cake, but taste and texture are excellent. Very simple and easy recipe. Highly recommend.

Easy Cheesecake
[](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/collections/bake-it-easy)
Cheesecake may have a reputation for being fussy, but this cheesecake recipe keeps things refreshingly simple. No springform pan, no water bath — just four basic ingredients for the filling: cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. The creamy filling comes together in minutes and is poured into a press-in graham cracker crust. The cheesecake is ready to chill after a quick 30-minute bake. You'll be eating cheesecake in no time\!
