Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it to mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating will make the cheesecake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
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 allow the cheesecake to set properly and develop its full flavor.
