Stress-Free New York Cheesecake

Flatten out 15/18

Flatten out

Flatten the top of the cheesecake using a spatula. It's important that the filling is even so that it can cook equally.

Bake for 40 minutes.

Now here's the secret to baking it perfectly: when the center still jiggles slightly when you tap the cake pan, then you know it's ready.

Turn off the oven, and let the cheesecake sit in the oven for another 15 minutes. 

By cooking it this way, along with the low temperature of the oven, you can be sure that your cheesecake will not break or crack.
