Sugar Cookie Cheesecake with Holiday Sprinkles 🎄🍪🍰

3️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake

1. Pour the filling over the cooled sugar cookie crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
2. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water around it to create a water bath (optional but recommended for a crack-free top).
3. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
4. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

4️⃣ Decorate & Serve

• Top with more sprinkles just before serving. Optionally add whipped cream or sugar cookie cutouts for an extra festive touch.
