Mac & Cheesecake

Instructions

1. Step 1

   1. Prep the Crust

   In a medium bowl, toss the graham cracker crumbs and the KD Original cheese powder together. Pour in the melted butter and stir. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (or ring mold), ensuring it’s even and packed tight.

2. Step 2

   2. Mix the Filling

   In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth.

   Pro Tip: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid any lumps!

3. Step 3

   3. Build the Flavour

   Whisk in the KD Deluxe Creamy Cheddar cheese sauce. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Finally, fold in the cornstarch and the extra KD Original cheese powder until the batter is a uniform, cheesy gold.

4. Step 4

   4. The Bake

   Pour the batter over your prepared crust. To get that perfect, crack-free finish:

   • The Water Bath Method: Wrap the bottom of your pan in foil and place it in a larger roasting pan filled with an inch of hot water.

   • Bake at 325°F: Slide it into the oven for about 1 hour, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.

   5. Cool & Serve

   Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
