How to cook deliciously - Pink Grapefruit Cheesecake

1. Stage

Place a greased 6-in. springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Wrap foil securely around pan. Pour 1 in. water into a 6-qt. slow cooker. Layer two 24-in. pieces of foil. Starting with a long side, fold up foil to create a 1-in.-wide strip; roll into a coil. Place in slow cooker to form a rack for the cheesecake.

2. Stage

In a small bowl, mix cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon sugar, zest and ginger; stir in butter. Press onto bottom and about 1 in. up the side of prepared pan.

3. Stage

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Beat in sour cream and grapefruit juice. Add eggs and beat on low speed just until combined.

4. Stage

Pour into crust. Place springform pan on top of coil. Cover slow cooker with a double layer of paper towels; place lid securely over towels. Cook, covered, on high 2 hours. Do not remove lid; turn off slow cooker and let cheesecake stand, covered, in slow cooker 1 hour. Center of cheesecake will be just set and top will appear dull.

5. Stage

Remove springform pan from slow cooker; remove foil from pan. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack 1 hour. Loosen side from pan with a knife. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled. Remove rim from pan. If desired, garnish with fruit.
