Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
   • In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and macadamia nut butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
   • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer.
   • Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. Make the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
   • Add in the macadamia nut butter and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.
   • Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
   • Add sour cream and cornstarch (or flour) to stabilize the filling, and mix until smooth.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:

   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top.
   • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
   • Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour to prevent cracking.

4. Chill the Cheesecake:

   • Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
