Pappadeaux Vanilla Cheesecake Recipe

You’ll start by baking a graham cracker crust, giving a perfect crunch to contrast the smooth filling.
Be sure to beat the cream cheese and brown sugar until completely smooth for that perfectly creamy texture.
Add eggs one at a time and mix them in well to keep the mixture light and airy.
A key trick is to be patient and let the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven with the door slightly open to prevent cracks.
