Preparation

Baking
  1. Bake for 60-75 minutes until the edges are set, but the center is slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about an hour.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serving
  1. Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy New York Style Cheesecake!

Notes

For best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature. Letting the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven helps prevent cracking.
