Filling

• 32 oz Cream Cheese, softened
• 220g Granulated Sugar
• 4 Whole Eggs

• 1/4 cup Crème Fraîche or Sour Cream
• 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
• Pinch of Salt

Instructions

Crust

1. In a medium bowl, mix together finely crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, kosher salt. Mix in melted unsalted butter until thoroughly combined.
2. Generously grease a 9” springform pan with oil and dump in the graham cracker mixture.
3. Using a flat bottom cup, press the crumble into a firm even surface. Place in a 350F preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.

Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese with granulated sugar. When creamed, blend in the eggs one at a time followed by the egg yolk.
2. Once the egg is fully incorporated, whisk in the remaining ingredients.
3. Pour the filling onto the completely cooled graham cracker crust. Cover the pan with tin foil and place into the bottom of a roasting dish.
4. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting dish to come 1” up of the springform pan.
5. Place into a 325F oven for 1.5 hours until set but slightly jiggly.
6. Once done, open the oven door and let sit in the water bath in the oven for 45 minutes.
7. Remove and place onto a wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
8. Once cooled completely, cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight and up to 2-3 days. Remove from springform pan carefully and serve!
