Maple Cheesecake

Cheesecakes are easy to make and are perfect for making ahead of time since they freeze well. You just need to defrost the cake in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then it will be ready to serve. If you won’t be freezing it and plan to serve it soon after making it, just be sure that you give it enough time to chill (covered) in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. 

For this maple cheesecake recipe, you only need 6 ingredients: graham crackers, Cabot Salted Butter, granulated maple sugar (though white sugar can be substituted), Cabot Premium Cream Cheese, eggs, and Vermont Grade A Dark Amber maple syrup. That’s it! 

To make this 12 serving cheesecake, follow the instructions as listed in the recipe below. While cheesecakes are fairly straightforward to make, the trickiest part is getting the cooking time right. The key is to not overbake it, as this will result in a less creamy cheesecake. It should come out of the oven when it is nearly set all the way to the center. This means that the center may appear as though it is not fully cooked, but it will be. You just need to trust that it is, pull it out of the oven, and transfer it to a wire rack to cool!
