Bake for 15 minutes; cool completely.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, add sugars, cream, eggs, and vanilla, then pour over browned base.
Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour until set with a slight jiggle in the center. Cool in oven with door cracked.

If the cheesecake cracks, a generous drizzle of caramel will enhance presentation.
