Run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, but leave it in the pan. (2 minutes)
10 Step

4 hrs
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving to allow the cheesecake to fully set. (240 minutes)
11 Step

0 mins
Remove the cheesecake from the pan before slicing and serving.
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.
