Place triple layer of paper towels on top of slow cooker. Cover with lid to seal. Cook on High heat setting 3 hours without removing lid. Turn slow cooker off and let stand, untouched, 1 hour. Remove cover, and transfer cheesecake to refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 6 hours before serving, but no longer than 24 hours.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Place paper towels directly under the lid. The paper towels serve to lock in moisture and absorb condensation.
  • tip 2
    To bake in the oven, heat oven to 300°F. Prepared crust and cheesecake as directed. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes or until cheesecake is set 1 1/2 inches from edge and center is slightly jiggly. Turn oven off; open oven door at least 4 inches. Let cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven. Run knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • tip 3
    For easy slicing that produces clean results, dip your knife in water after each cut.
  • tip 4
    Use crushed gingersnap cookies in place of the graham cracker crumbs for an extra-festive treat.
