Crust Preparation

Cheesecake Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and flour until smooth. Add vanilla extract and butterscotch pudding mix; mix until incorporated. Gradually fold in sour cream and add eggs one at a time.
Baking
  1. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Wrap the pan in aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for 55-65 minutes until edges are set. Let cool in the oven for an hour.
Chilling
  1. Remove cheesecake from water bath and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
