Tips
- Boil about 3-4 cups of water. Once boiled, pour it into a separate baking dish (I used a 13 x 9 baking dish but the size doesn't matter, we are just creating steam for the cheesecake)
- Place the water filled baking dish on the bottom rack of your oven and your cheesecake on the rack right above it (this will help prevent your cheesecake from cracking)
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when shaken.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, for the best texture
