    Press the crumb mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch cake pan with tall sides, lined with parchment paper. Bake at 175°C for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool while you prepare the filling.

    Reduce the oven temperature to 163°C. In a food processor or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese, sugar, and salt on high until completely smooth and lump-free. Add the vanilla, scrape down the bowl, and mix for another minute.

    Pour the batter into the cooled crust. Place the cake pan inside a larger 13x9-inch pan and fill the larger pan halfway with water to create a water bath.
  7. Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake for about 50 minutes, checking for doneness by ensuring the sides are set while the center remains slightly jiggly. If the crust begins to brown, the cheesecake is overbaked.
  8. Cool the Cheesecake Gradually
