Remove the baked cheesecake from the oven and immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it. Let cheesecake cool at room temperature for an hour before refrigerating.

Tip

Make sure your convection oven is calibrated and heating at the right temperature.

Heating the cream cheese in the microwave for a minute or two makes it easier to mix.

Always add the eggs last when mixing your cheesecake batter to avoid bubbles.

Don't over-beat the batte; once the mixture is smooth, it is ready.

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least one hour before serving.

Top the cheesecake with your favorite sauce when serving.

Warning

Be careful when working with a hot oven.
