You get the idea???? Anything will be fabulous
Preparing the pan
First of all, I spray my springform pan with oil spray to keep the parchment in place, I hate that it will keep falling over if I don't.
Cut the parchment paper to fit and make around for the bottom and thin sleeve to go around the ring.
Water Bath Method
Here's how to bake the cheesecake in a water bath:
Wrap outside of the pan in a double layer of foil, covering the underside and extending all the way to the top.
Then set the wrapped pan in a large roasting pan, and pour hot water into roasting pan—to a depth of 2 inches or about halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan.
New York Style Cheesecake Recipe
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients:
4- 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter, melted
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crust Ingredients:
1 package of Lorna Doone cookies crushed fine or use graham crackers if you want to1 stick butter or margarine
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix all together
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray bottom of 9-inch springform pan with 2 1/2-inch-high sides with nonstick spray. Stir ground cookies, butter, and sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl until moist clumps form. Press cookie mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Wrap outside of pan with 3 layers of heavy-duty foil.
The Cheesecake
Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl until smooth around 25 minutes till it has a smooth and creamy no lumps consistency, use an industrial size mixer on low, be patient, this needs to be silky smooth. Beat in butter, then eggs, 1 at a time, until well blended, around 8 to10 minutes. Be patient. Beat in vanilla. Pour batter over crust in pan. Place springform pan, I spray with nonstick spray first, then put in large turkey size roasting pan. Add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of the springform pan. Reduce heat to 350 and place cheesecake with a water bath in the oven.
Note: A water bath is simply a pan of hot water placed in the oven, and using this method has two benefits when baking. First, a water bath adds moisture to the oven and this is important for baking foods like cheesecakes, which tend to crack from the heat of the oven, or custards which can become rubbery without moist heat.
( If you have bubbles on top swirl a knife around the batter to burst before cooking. ) Bake cake uncovered until filling is puffed around edges and moves slightly in center when pan is gently shaken, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove pan from water; remove foil. Cool completely, in the refrigerator, remove ring only after this is completely cooled. Slide onto your favorite plate. Top with favorite toppings some suggestions below.
Chill overnight or at least four hours before serving.
