Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
