1

Prepare the Crust

In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust.

2

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gently fold in Nerds candy to incorporate the vibrant colors into the filling.

3

Bake the Cheesecake

Pour the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in a preheated oven and bake at 325°F (160°C) for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Remember, it will firm up as it cools.

4

Cool and Chill

Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Before serving, remove the springform pan sides and transfer the cheesecake to a serving plate. For an extra sprinkle of Nerds goodness, garnish the top with a handful of colorful candy. Slice, serve, and let your taste buds savor the tangy and sweet delight of Nerds Cheesecake!
