Tips:
- Use high-quality cream cheese. This is the main ingredient in the cheesecake, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start baking. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Don't overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help it to set properly.
