08 - Place the cheesecake pan in a water bath. Bake 90–95 minutes.
09 - Once baked, turn the oven off and leave the door halfway open for 10 minutes. Sit on the counter another 10 minutes, loosen edges with a knife, and cool for one hour.

01 - Water baths are key to a silky texture. Don't use a knife to check the center. Follow gradual cooling to avoid cracks. You can make it a couple of days ahead, but save the toppings for the end.
