Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Nutter Butter cookies (about 20 cookies)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush the Nutter Butter cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even crust layer.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar while continuing to beat. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Finally, mix in vanilla extract until thoroughly combined, resulting in a smooth batter.
- Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared cookie crust in the springform pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
- Chill the cheesecake: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to firm up and flavors to meld perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother filling and to avoid lumps.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for best texture and flavor.
- For easier crust pressing, use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup.
- To prevent cracking, avoid overbaking by checking the center jiggle near end of baking time.
- Optional: Garnish with chopped Nutter Butter cookies or a drizzle of peanut butter before serving.
