Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. In a large ziplock bag, crush up Magical Animal Crackers. In a large bowl, combine the crushed magical crackers, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Place in either an 8" or 9" springform pan or a regular cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake crust for 10 - 12 minutes until it reaches a light gold color.

 

Step 2:

Reduce oven to 325 ° Fahrenheit. Prepare the filling of the cheesecake by mixing the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until no lumps remain. Add in one egg at a time to the mixture. Add in vanilla extract, sour cream, gluten-free flour, and salt and mix well. Pour mixture over crust and bake in the oven for about 1 and a half hours (90 minutes). Delish recommends baking until the center of the cheesecake only slightly jiggles.

Step 3:

Remove cheesecake from oven and let cool on a cooling rack for about 1 hour. Move cheesecake to the fridge to let cool for another 5 hours or overnight. 

Step 4:

Remove cheesecake from the springform pan or cake pan and decorate with whipped cream, magical animal crackers, and sprinkles if desired. Enjoy!
