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 about 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Combine and Bake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

Cool and Serve
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
