Best Slow-Cooker Cheesecake
The easiest way to make a perfect tender no-crack cheesecake is in the crockpot. Most people associate Crock-Pots with thick, hearty stews or fork-tender cuts of meat. But the same principles that allow the flavors of a stock to build also apply to desserts made in the slow cooker. With this cheesecake, the slow, steady application of low heat yields a perfectly creamy, silky, almost custard-like texture to cheesecake.
