Instructions to make Classic New York Cheesecake:

  2. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F or 180 C.
  3. Melt 3/4 stick of the butter on a boiling water or in a saucepan. Set aside a piece of the excess to butter the springform pan's bottom and sides.
  4. Line the inner base of the springform pan with parchment paper. Sides are optional.
  5. Mix the crushed honey graham with brown sugar.
  6. Mix the sugar and graham mixture with butter. The mixture must look like a wet sand but when pressed together must stick together and form a mold.
  7. Bake the crust at 180 C or 350 F for 15 mins.
  8. Cool the crust for 10 minutes then refrigerate for about an hour.
  9. Cream the block of cream cheese until it is soft and creamy.
  10. Mix the white sugar and salt.

  16. Place the pan/s on a bigger rectangular pan/container. Pour the cheese batter on the cooled, baked crust in the springform pan then put all pans together in the oven. Avoid swaying the pans to keep the batter from sticking unevenly to the sides once baked.
  17. Pour the boiling water onto the rectangular pan/container before closing the oven lid for a baking method called the water bath. Bake at 160 C for 1 hr and 40 mins.
  18. Cool the cake for 20 to 30 mins then refrigerate for 10-12 hours.
