Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cups Nutter Butter cookies, finely crushed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling
- 24 ounces (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed Nutter Butter cookies with melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
- Form the crust: Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, blending each fully before adding the next.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
- Bake the cheesecake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the springform pan on the center rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when shaken.
- Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Chilling the crust before adding the filling helps maintain its structure during baking.
- Do not overbake the cheesecake; a slight jiggle in the center indicates it’s perfectly done.
- Use a water bath to minimize cracking if desired.
- Store leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
