Step-by-Step Instructions for Maple Chai Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form the crust.
- 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.
- Add sour cream, maple syrup, and chai spice blend to the cream cheese mixture. Mix on low speed until combined.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing just until each is combined before adding the next to keep the batter light and airy.
- 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.
- 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.

Notes
For extra smooth cheesecake, consider using a water bath during baking. Ensure ingredients like cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for best results.
