Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.

Once the cheesecake is baked and cooled, pour the ganache over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
