American Vanilla baked cheesecake recipe ASMR🍰🤤

For the Filling:

• 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar

• 680g (24 ounces) blocks cream cheese, room temperature

• 4 eggs, room temperature

• 2 egg yolks, room temperature

• ½ tsp vanilla extract

• Seeds from 1 vanilla bean

• Zest of a lemon

For the Crust:

• 180g (1 ½ cups) graham cracker crumbs

• 50g (¼ cup) granulated sugar

• 71g (5 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted Instructions:

1. Prepare the crust:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9-inch springform pan with baking spray.

2. Crush the graham crackers in a food processor until they are finely ground. Mix in the sugar and melted butter until fully blended.

3. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool to room temperature.

4. Cover the bottom and sides of the pan with three layers of aluminum foil.

2. Prepare the filling:

1. Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar on high speed until smooth and creamy.

2. Incorporate the eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed.

3. Add the egg yolks, vanilla bean, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, and mix on high speed for a few seconds.

4. Pour the filling into the baked crust, then place the pan inside a large roasting pan and fill the roasting pan halfway with hot water.

5. Put the roasting pan in the oven and bake at 350°F for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is nearly set.

6. Once done, gently take it out of the water bath, remove the foil, and place it on a cooling rack for a few hours until it cools to room temperature. Do not take off the sides of the pan yet; it needs to be refrigerated and allowed to set overnight.
