Mili's classic vanilla cheesecake recipe.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces classic cream cheese (two and a half standard, 8oz. packages - full fat)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla bean powder
- 3 whole eggs
Instructions
- Pre heat your oven to 300 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Add pure vanilla extract and powder.
- Incorporate three large eggs, one at a time.
- Cream all ingredients together until smooth and for a couple of minutes so that air has a chance to be let into the batter.
- Pour into a prepared pan, as-is or over a graham cracker or torte crust bottom.
- Bake for 55 minutes. Check oven at 50 minutes and you may need to bake it for one hour. Once stick comes out clean, you are set. It may crack but only slightly around the edges.
- Take out of the oven and allow to settle for at least 30 minutes before removing from pan, and adding any toppings.
- Chill in the refrigerator for three hours before serving.
