• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F.

Crust

• Mix all and press into the bottom and up sides of a 8 inch cheesecake pan. I like to use a bottomless but you can use a springform if that is what you have! Bake 8-10 mins and let cool.

Cheesecake

• Lower oven temp to 300.
• Beat cream cheese, mascarpone, flour on low speed, scraping down the sides as needed.
• Once smooth, add sugar.
• Add vanilla
• Add eggs, one at a time just until blended.
• Pour into cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Bake until the center has a slight jiggle. In this small 6 inch pan mine took 1 hour 25 minutes. If you use an 9 inch pan it will take less time so keep an eye on it.
• Shut oven and lave cake inside 1 hour to cool. Remove to counter and cool completely.
• Chill overnight and remove sides of pan.
• Sprinkle sugar on top and torch until caramelized.
