Bake the cheesecake
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

Chill and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice to serve.
