Ingredients
- 3 8 oz. packages of Philadelphia cream cheese
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 graham crackers (full pieces), pulverized into crumbs
- 3 tablespoons of stick butter, melted
Directions
- Allow Cream Cheese to get to room temperature. Open cream cheese and place in large bowl. Add Sugar. Mix until sugar and cream cheese are well blended.
- Add the 3 eggs one at a time. After adding an egg, blend, then add the other etc. In a separate bowl, add graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix well as this will form your crust.
- Choose a pan or small crock type cooking pan that will fit in the bottom of your crock-pot with room left on the side. You want to be able to pull the pan out without too much difficulty.
- Add the graham cracker crumbs mixture to the bottom of the pan. With a spoon, pat the graham crackers out till you have a smooth layer.
- Add the cream cheese mixture to the top of the graham crackers. Add 2 to 3 cups water to the bottom of the crock-pot. You need enough to last 2 hours but not too much that it will get in your pan.
- Place the cheesecake pan in the crock-pot and place the lid of the crock-pot on. Cook on high for 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes or until the center does not have a watery consistency when you stick a knife into it. The cheesecake will begin to crack on the sides.
- Let cool for 30 m to 1 h. Remove and let set in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Tip
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for deeper flavor.
