Prepare the ingredients early by taking them out of the fridge to reach room temperature. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a round 10" baking tin with parchment paper on the bottom. You don't need to line up the sides or grease them. In a big bowl put together all the ingredients and knead until all the ingredients are combined. You can use the mixer as well. Move it to the baking tin. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 360 F and bake the cheesecake for another 50 minutes. Once baked, turn off the oven, but leave the cheesecake in for additional 10 minutes before taking it out. After it has completely cooled down, put the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top before serving.
