How to cook deliciously - Amaretto Cheesecake
1. Stage
Preheat oven to 325º and butter an 8" or 9" springform pan. Make crust: in a large bowl, combine crushed Nillas with butter, sugar and salt. Pat into prepared springform pan and set aside while you make the filling.
2. Stage
In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth and fluffy. Add cornstarch, then add eggs. Add Amaretto and vanilla and mix to combine.
3. Stage
Pour batter into crust and place on a large baking sheet. (If you'd like to use a water bath, tightly wrap outside of springform pan with two layers of aluminum foil. Transfer to a deep roasting pan and pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up the cheesecake pan. Bake as directed.)

Bake until center of cheesecake is only slightly jiggly, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour, then refrigerate until completely cool, 4 hours or up to overnight.
