  • spray a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray, spread crumbs into pan, and press crumbs into a firm crust going about 1 inch up the side of the pan. place the pan on a heavy sheet of aluminum foil and bring the foil up the sides of the pan to the rim, crumpling it close to the pan and making a barrier to prevent water from leaking into the cheesecake. place the foil and springform pan into a large roasting pan.
  • place cream cheese, 1 cup brown sugar, and white sugar into the work bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment; mix low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. raise speed to high and mix until light and fluffy, about 3 more minutes.

  • turn off oven heat and open oven door for a few seconds to let out most of the hot air. use a thin knife to separate cheesecake edge from inside of pan to help prevent cracking. close oven door almost all the way, leaving a small opening (about 1 inch) to release additional heat. let cheesecake cool in warm oven for 1 hour to finish setting. remove cheesecake from water bath and let cool to room temperature on a counter, 2 to 3 more hours. cover cheesecake with aluminum foil and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
