Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • Check the center of the cheesecake for doneness but do not be too alarmed if it seems jiggly. The center will still cook after being taken out of the oven.
  • Let the dessert cool completely before serving.
  • To store: add leftovers to a covered container and refrigerate. Eat within 3 days.
