For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of lemon zest to the batter.
Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake. It should still have a slight jiggle in the center when removed from the oven.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Serve with fresh berries, a fruit compote, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a delightful presentation.
