Tasty Krispy Kreme Doughnut Cheesecake

Step 1

Gather the ingredients. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crust ingredients. In a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, add crust ingredients. With your hands, push graham cracker ingredients in bottom and up sides of pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before adding filling.

Step 2

Gather the ingredients. Beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the eggs one at a time until all combined. Pour one half of the batter into crust. Cut doughnuts into quarter wedges. Decoratively arrange wedges in the batter. (You may feel there are too many wedges. Don’t worry, if a few doughnut wedges are missing from the baked cheesecake, who would know?) Add remaining batter all around the doughnuts.

Step 3

Gather the ingredients. Melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Add enough of the hot water to make the glaze. Drizzle glaze over the top of the unbaked cheesecake.

Step 4

Bake for 40 minutes or until set. The center should jiggle slightly. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Serve and enjoy! You can keep any leftover cheesecake pieces in the refrigerator.
