Note

Ensure all ingredients, especially cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps in the batter.

To prevent cracking, avoid overmixing the batter once the eggs are added. If the oven runs hot, consider using a water bath for even baking.

The cheesecake must be chilled for at least 12 hours to firm up properly for slicing. Run a knife under hot water before slicing for clean edges.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
