Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Crush the Nacho Cheese Doritos until fine crumbs in a food processor.
- Combine crumbs with melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat room-temperature cream cheese until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add reduced Mountain Dew and sugar, mixing until creamy and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until edges are slightly puffed and center jiggles slightly.
- Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Slice the cheesecake and garnish with additional crumbled Doritos or a citrus twist if desired.

Notes
For optimal taste and texture, chill overnight. Reducing the Mountain Dew enhances flavor concentration. Ensure the crust is cool before adding the filling to maintain cheesecake structure.
