This might be the most Canadian cheesecake ever made! Using maple syrup to sweeten the cheesecake batter, and with maple syrup drizzled on top before serving, this smooth and creamy cheesecake is a great year round recipe – and perfect for a Canada Day celebration.
Crush the maple cookies with a rolling pin and add to a mixing bowl. Stir in melted butter. Press mixture into a 9-inch spring form pan and set aside.
In a KitchenAid Stand Mixer or with a handheld electric mixer, beat cream cheese and maple syrup on low until combined. Add in eggs and mix on low until smooth. Pour cheesecake mixture over top of your maple cookie crust.
Bake for 1 hour in a 350°F oven or until the cheesecake is set. Let cool before removing the springform pan. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.
To serve, drizzle maple syrup over top of each slice.
