Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Chai Cheesecake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add sugar and mix until free of lumps.
  4. Add sour cream, maple syrup, and chai spice blend to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on low speed until combined.
  5. Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing just until each is combined before adding the next to keep the batter light and airy.
  6. Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan and spread evenly. Bake for 55-60 minutes until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
  7. Turn off the oven and crack the door for one hour to cool, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
