Baking
- Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Notes
For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Use a water bath for even baking and to prevent cracks.
