Creamy Cheesecake with Walnut Crumb Crust
Makes one 8-inch cheesecake, 6 to 8 servings
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Insert the metal blade. Place the broken graham crackers in the work bowl and pulse to break up,
10 times. Add walnuts and cinnamon to work bowl, pulse 12 to 15 times. With machine running,
drop butter through the feed tube and process until the mixture is coarse buttered crumbs.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the crumb mixture and press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of an 8-inch
springform or cheesecake pan. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove and let cool completely (may place in
freezer to speed cooling process). When cool, wrap pan with heavy duty aluminum foil so that it
comes up the sides of the pan.
Wipe work bowl and blade clean with a paper towel. Place cream cheese and sugar in work bowl.
Process until smooth, 15 to 20 seconds. Scrape work bowl. Add eggs, vanilla and almond extracts
to work bowl. Process until smooth, 20 seconds. Scrape work bowl. Add sour cream to work bowl.
Process until blended, 20 seconds. Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled, wrapped pan.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top. Place in an aluminum baking pan that is
at least 10 inches in diameter. Add hot water to the pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. Bake in the pre-
heated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Cheesecake will be lightly colored, sides will be firm, but
center will be jiggly. Remove from the pan of hot water and remove foil. Place on a wire rack to
cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight before
unmolding. Serve in wedges.
