I LOVE this recipe and it is simple
While baking the crust and letting it cool, assemble and prepare the filling: 4 (4 oz) packages cream cheese (at room temperature), 1 small can sweetened condensed milk, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 4 large eggs
Beat the cheese on low until smooth, about two or three minutes. It may be easier to beat half the cream cheese first, followed by the second half. Add the condensed milk. Beat until integrated and scrape down the sides. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix. The cheese should be much easier to work with at this point.
Add the eggs and mix until they are blended in. Add a little flour if too runny. A little flour will cut down on the cracks from baking. Pour into graham cracker crust.
Now, pour the filling into the springform pan onto the cooled crust. A 10-inch pan should fill up to almost its rim with this filling. Lift the pan an inch or two above your counter or cutting board and drop it to bring any bubbles trapped inside to the surface. Place the springform pan onto a sheetpan (for easy handling and safety), and slide into the middle of an oven preheated to 500°F.
After ten minutes, reduce the temperature to 200°F and allow the cheesecake to bake as the oven gradually reduces temperature (do not open the oven door). Bake the cheesecake until the center of the cake registers as 150°F (making sure it does not exceed 160°F), about 1 hour and 40 minutes. Feel free to use an instant read thermometer in the center of the cake - a slightly blemish is worth a perfect cake. Note: When baking the example cheesecake, I kept the cake at 500°F for only five minutes (thinking that the pizza stone would keep the temperature higher for longer). Notice that the edges of the cake had begun to brown, but the whole surface of the cake is still a light shade. This cake resulted in the texture of a New York style cheesecake, but failed to achieve the look. Remember to keep baking at 500°F for the full ten minutes. (Some recipes even call for fifteen minutes, but I generally use ten.)
Top with your favorite topping.
****I just bake mine in a rectangular glass bake dish with a graham cracker crust @ 350 degrees.
