Recipe View Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside. (10 minutes)

Blend in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and cream of tartar. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Cool and Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan at room temperature. Once cooled, cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. (360 minutes)

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent lumps in the cheesecake filling.
Do not overbake the cheesecake; a slight jiggle in the center is ideal. It will continue to set as it cools.
To prevent cracks, consider using a water bath. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil and place it in a larger pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the springform pan.
When cooling, run a thin knife or spatula around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, which helps prevent cracks as it cools.
