- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lightly greasing it or lining the bottom with parchment paper.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set completely before serving.
