Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy cheesecake batter. Using a water bath during baking can help prevent cracks on the surface. If you notice the cheesecake browning too quickly, cover it lightly with aluminum foil. Remember to chill the cheesecake thoroughly to allow the flavors to meld and set properly.
