Notes

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother mix. Consider using a water bath to bake the cheesecake for an even cook and to prevent cracking. Don't overmix the batter to maintain a fluffy texture. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
