Notes

You can line the inside bottom of the springform pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil if desired. It's not completely necessary but does make it easier to clean the pan.
Oven temperatures can vary which means your cheesecake may need more time to bake. You'll know it is done cooking when the outer edges of the cheesecake feel firm to the touch while the center looks wet and jiggles when shaken. If the cheesecake doesn't look this way after an hour of cooking, let it cook until it does. Then you can turn the oven off and let the cheesecake rest for another hour in the oven.
