Description

Directions

• Using a mixer, in a large mixing bowl mix together the cream cheese and granulated sugar until well combined.
• Add the three eggs to the cream cheese mixture one at a time, mixing well after each egg is added before adding the next egg.
• Mix in the pure vanilla extract and set cheese mixture aside while you prepare the crust.
• In a separate bowl mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter with a fork until the mixture resembles damp sand.
• Add the graham cracker crumb crust mixture to the bottom of a small heat proof bowl or small springform pan that will fit inside your 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
• With a spoon or the back of a dry measuring cup press the graham crackers into the bowl or pan until you have a smooth flat layer of crust.
• Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the top of the crust and spread it around to make a smooth layer.
• Place the cheesecake inside your slow cooker and using a liquid measuring cup or tea kettle with a spout carefully add 2 to 3 cups of water in the space between the cheesecake and the crock-pot insert making sure not to get any water on the cheesecake itself. The water level should reach half way up the side of your cheesecake.
• Cover slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours or 2 1/2 hours or until the center of the cheesecake is no longer watery when you stick a thin knife into the center of it.
• Turn the crock-pot off and leaving the lid off let the cheesecake cool in the crock-pot for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Carefully remove the cheesecake from the slow cooker and cover with foil or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill before eating.
• Serve cheesecake plain or with your favorite fruit topping if desired.
