Are you a cheesecake lover? Me, too! I love it so much, I could eat it for breakfast. Come to think of it, I think I have eaten it for breakfast! LOL My favorite kind of cheesecake is New York Style. When it comes to baking one, though, I am not fond of baking with a springform pan. It is more work than I want to put in. That is why I was thrilled to find this easy, creamy cheesecake recipe!

Pyrex glass easy-grab pie plates – set of 2 #Ad

It has all of the elements and flavor of a creamy New York Style cheesecake with its buttery homemade graham cracker crust, with simpler cleanup because it calls for a glass pie plate* instead of a springform pan. This recipe is a winner all the way around!

*Metal pie pans work fine, as well.

Spring Chef magnetic measuring spoon set of 8 [dual sided!] #Ad

Directions

Preheat oven 325°

CRUST

Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter for crust.

Press crust into a 9 1/2“ pie pan.

BAKE the crust for 10 minutes and then remove from oven.* Allow to cool as you make the filling.

*NOTE: I have made this recipe twice. One time I forgot to prebake the crust before adding the filling. Though it was OK, the crust did not hold together as well as it would have had I remembered. I won’t forget the next time!
