Crock Pot Cheesecake

Did you know you can make cheesecake in a crock pot? I sure didn't, but was thrilled to find out. I love the crock pot ~ throw it in and forget it. I saw Stephanie the Crock Pot Lady on Rachael Ray's talk show, and now have a ton of new recipe's to try. I tried this one first ~ and we loved it! In fact I'm making another one tomorrow!

Crust:
1 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
2 Tbsp brown sugar
3 Tbsp melted butter

Cheesecake:
16 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs (room temperature)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp flour

You'll need to find a heat resistant baking dish that will fit inside your crock pot and allow 1-2 inches of water around the sides for a water bath. I had to 1/2 the recipe to get it to work in my crock pot (which is why I'm making more tomorrow).

Mix together the crust ingredients. Press into the bottom of your baking dish.

Mix all the cheesecake ingredients together with an electric mixer until well combined and creamy. Pour over graham cracker crust.

Pour 1/2-1 inches of water in the crock pot. Add your cheesecake, but be careful not to splash it with water.

Cook on high for 2-3 hours, but check it after an hour to make sure there's still plenty of water.
