Ingredients

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs*
  • 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon extract or almond or flavor of your choice
  • 4 large eggs
Makes: 9inch round

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F
  • Stir the 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar and 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs* together in the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan, add the melted 4 Tablespoons butter. Mix together and press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is really softened. In a large bowl, whip the 24 oz cream cheese until completely smooth, being sure the scrape the sides of your bowl a couple of times.
  • Mix in the 14 oz sweetened condensed milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon lemon extract (if using) until smooth.
  • Add the 4 large eggs, one at a time mixing until just combined. You don't want to whip air into the mixture at this point.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the crust. Thump it on the counter a couple of times to get out any big air bubbles.
  • Bake until the middle doesn't jiggle, about an hour
  • Let cool and then chill at least a couple of hours, preferably over night.

Notes

*You can buy a box of graham cracker crumbs or make you own. This recipe requires 1 sleeve of graham crackers turned into crumbs. I usually use a food processor for this but you can put them in a large resealable plastic bag and go over them with a rolling pin several times until they are fine crumbs.
For the best results, use full-fat cream cheese.
