Directions
Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Place a pan of hot water on the lower rack of the oven to act as a water bath. The steam helps the cheesecake bake gently and evenly, reducing the risk of cracking while maintaining a smooth surface. Allow the hot water to preheat along with the oven so it generates immediate moisture once the cheesecake goes in.
- Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, ensuring the bottom is covered. This makes it easier to release and transfer the cheesecake later without tearing its delicate surface.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and free of lumps. Take your time with this step—the cream cheese should look silky before adding additional ingredients, ensuring a creamy final texture
