Step-by-Step Instructions

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until set and lightly golden.
  5. Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla, mixing on low speed until combined.
  7. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low until fully incorporated.
  8. Pour the filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
