Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Pan: Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper. Crush the cookies into a fine consistency and blend thoroughly with melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the base of the pan to form the crust.
Make the Filling: Using an electric mixer, whip the mascarpone with cream and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Add Flavor and Eggs: Incorporate a few drops of vanilla extract into the cream mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, gently folding them in with a whisk to maintain a light texture.
Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for approximately 70-80 minutes, or until set.
Cooling Process: Allow the cheesecake to cool in the slightly opened oven for 1 hour. Then let it cool further at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to fully set.
