Ingredients:<\/h4>\n

CRUST
\n<\/strong>2 packets of Scotch Finger crumbs
\n1\/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
\n5 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon (1\/3 cup) melted butter
\n1\/8 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

FILLING<\/strong>
\n2 cups (2 large packages) cream cheese, at room temperature
\n2 large eggs
\n2\/3 cup sugar
\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Select a pie pan whose inside top dimension is at least 9″, and whose height is at least 1 1\/4″. Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/li>\n
  2. Make the crust by stirring together all of the crust ingredients, mixing until thoroughly combined.<\/li>\n
  3. Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan, making a thicker layer on the bottom than on the sides.<\/li>\n
  4. Make the filling by mixing together the room-temperature cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs and vanilla, again mixing until smooth. To avoid beating too much air into the batter, use a mixer set at low-medium speed. To avoid lumps, make sure the cream cheese is softened, and\/or at room temperature.<\/li>\n
  5. Set the pie pan onto a baking sheet, if desired; this makes it easier to transport in and out of the oven, and also protects the bottom of the crust from any potential scorching. Pour the filling into the crust.<\/li>\n
  6. Place the cheesecake in the oven. Bake it for 20 minutes, then add a crust shield; or shield the crust with strips of aluminium foil. Bake for an additional 10 minutes (for a total of about 30 minutes). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the crust 1″ from the edge should read between 165\u00b0F and 170\u00b0F; the filling won’t look entirely set in the centre.<\/li>\n
  7. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and set it on a rack to cool while you make the topping. Once the cake is cool, refrigerate it, covered, until you’re ready to serve it.<\/li>\n
  8. To make the topping, place the frozen raspberries in a bowl to thaw. You can hasten the process with a quick trip through the microwave, but don’t let the berries cook.<\/li>\n
  9. Add 1 tablespoon Pie Filling Enhancer, and stir until well combined. Is the topping as thick as you like? If not, stir in another tablespoon Pie Filling Enhancer.<\/li>\n
  10. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste. Stir in a pinch of ground cinnamon, if desired.<\/li>\n
  11. Spoon the topping over the cheesecake, and cut slices to serve. Alternatively, cut slices, and top each with a dollop of topping.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
