Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- If you haven’t already add graham crackers to the bowl of a food processor and process on high until they turn into crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush the graham crackers in a large zip-loc bag.
- Add graham cracker crumbs to a large bowl along with the maple syrup and butter. Stir to combine.
- Add crust mixture to a 9” springform pan and press it down to form the crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool while you make your filling.
- While crust is cooling, make filling by adding all your ingredients to the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth and combined.
- Pour the filling into the springform pan on top of the crust.
- Place springform pan in the oven on the middle rack with a baking sheet on the bottom rack. Pour boiling water onto the baking sheet about 1” high. This will create your steam bath to help prevent your cheesecake from cracking!
- Bake cheesecake for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden, but the center is still slightly jiggly. It’ll continue to set as it cools. Cook time is going to be dependent on your oven, so be sure to keep an eye on it around the 45-50 minute mark so it doesn’t overcook!
- Let cheesecake cool fully before refrigerating, about 4 hours.

- Storage: Once fully cooled, store your cheesecake in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap or foil, for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap individual slices in plastic and freeze in a container for up to 3 months; just thaw overnight in the fridge.
