Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.

Cool and Serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Carefully run a knife around the edges before releasing the springform pan.
