This cheesecake won’t win any gourmet prizes, but it’ll impress anyone who
thought you couldn’t cook. Plus, it’s quick to make and easy to vary.

Rub the pat of butter over the prepared crust and bake it in a 350-degree
oven for about 10 minutes. This will make the crust crispy. Soften the
cream cheese by placing it in a microwave-safe mixing bowl and microwaving
for about 30 seconds, or 15 per package. Mix the sugar into the softened
cream cheese with an electric mixer. Blend the eggs and the rest of the
ingredients into the cream cheese mixture. Pour the mixture into the crust
and bake in a 350-degree oven for 40 minutes or until the center is almost
set. Cool for 10 minutes, then pop it into your fridge to chill for 3 hours
or overnight. This is the ideal — but I’ve made the cheesecake and chilled
it for 1 and a half hours and then brought it to a party, and it tasted
fine.
