Remove the cheesecake from the oven & from the water bath and transfer to the refrigerator to set for 8-12 hours.
• Run a knife around the edges of the springform pan before releasing it. Slice the cheesecake into 8-12 slices. Top with whipped cream, freshly grated nutmeg, & a drizzle of salted caramel as desired. Enjoy!
