Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (½ stick, 4 tbsp) melted butter
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • ⅔ cup + 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 16 ounces (2 large packages) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup jam (we used strawberry)
  • Fresh berries (optional)

Directions

Make the crust

Make an aluminum foil sling by taking two pieces of foil and placing them perpendicular to each other in a Suvie pan. Ensure the foil extends beyond the two long sides of the pan. It’s ok to have the corners of the pan exposed. Evenly coat aluminum foil and any exposed pan with cooking spray.

Microwave butter in a microwave-safe container until melted (approx 30 seconds). Stir in 1½ tbsp sugar, ⅛ tsp salt, and graham cracker crumbs. Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan until it forms a flat, compact layer, using the bottom of a measuring cup works well.

Broil crust for 5-7 minutes in your Suvie, rotating pan halfway through cooking time. Make sure to keep an eye on it to avoid burning. Remove when golden brown and fragrant.

Note: If you would like to make this recipe in Suvie 1.0, insert pan into the top zone of Suvie, fill reservoir, and set to Slow Cook on Low for 2 hours.

Coffee Pairing

We recommend pairing this recipe with some freshly brewed Sumatran coffee. Coffee from this part of the world tend to be spicy, herbal, and smooth, this will balance out the sharper notes of the cheesecake and act as a perfect counterpoint to the fruity jam.
