Bake the Cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed. Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour. Then remove and let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
