For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent lumps in the cheesecake filling. Do not overbake the cheesecake; a slight jiggle in the center is ideal. It will continue to set as it cools. To prevent cracks, consider using a water bath. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil and place it in a larger pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the springform pan. When cooling, run a thin knife or spatula around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, which helps prevent cracks as it cools.
