  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
Baking

Serving
  1. Serve with your favorite toppings like chocolate sauce, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Allow the cheesecake to cool before chilling for best results. Store in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for a month. Wrap tightly to prevent freezer burn.
