Time 6h15m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
3 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Grease a 9" springform pan.
  • MAKE THE CRUST:
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to combine until the mixture looks like sand. Use the back of a measuring cup to press the crust firmly into the bottom and up the side of the pan. Bake the crust for 10 min. and allow to cool.
  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 min.
  • Add the maple syrup, vanilla, and eggs, and beat on low until just combined. Pour over the crust and smooth the top evenly.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 min. or until the center is set. (The center will still jiggle slightly when shaken.) Turn the oven off and open the door slightly. Leave the cheesecake inside to cool for 1 hour. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • Before serving, drizzle melted chocolate over the top and side of cheesecake and top with chopped walnuts.
