Carefully assemble the processor with the grey spindle and green S-blade™ in the bowl. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla and seeds and salt and process until smooth. Add the eggs and process until just combined, scraping down the side occasionally.
Pour the cheesecake mixture through a fine sieve into a large liquid measuring cup and stand for 30 minutes.
To preheat the oven, insert the wire rack into position 6. Select Phase Cook for P1 and set the oven to Bake, Convection, 325°F, for 15 minutes. Press Confirm for P2 and set the oven to Bake, No Fan, 300°F, for 1 hour 20 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
Line the base and side of a greased 9-inch round springform pan with parchment paper.
To prepare the crumb base, in the clean processor bowl with the grey spindle and green S-blade™, add the graham crackers, sugar and salt and process until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add the butter and process until combined.
Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the base of the prepared pan. Use a flat based jar or glass to press evenly.
Once preheated, place the pan on the pizza pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until golden.
When the oven signals, pour the cheesecake mixture over the crumb base and return to the oven. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until just firm around the edge with a slight wobble in the center.
Cool the cheesecake on a rack for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Remove the cheesecake from the pan and cut into pieces. Serve with raspberries or fruit of your choice.
