Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 10 min-
utes, until slightly puffed (crust may have
cracked appearance; that is normal). Place

touch, wrap a sheet of aluminum foil

so that it comes up at least 2 inches.
Place cream cheeses and remaining sugar
in a large mixing bowl. Beat on Speed 2

Add half-and-half mixture and vanilla
extract; mix on Speed 2 until smooth and
completely combined. Pour the mixture
over the cooled crust. Place the pan in a

add enough hot water to the outer pan so
that it is

cheesecake is pulling away from the sides of
the pan; the center will be jiggly. Remove
from the oven, remove the foil and let cool
completely on a rack. Refrigerate at least 4
hours before serving. Garnish with chocolate
curls if desired.
