Step 3

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a deep, non-springform baking pan (8 inches/20 cm in diameter). Place a round piece of parchment paper on the bottom and line the sides with parchment paper, ensuring it is 1.2 inches (3 cm) higher than the pan’s edge.

Step 5

Place the pan in a larger baking dish and pour hot water into the larger dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cheesecake pan. Bake for 40 minutes. Then, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool completely. Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 hours.

Step 6

To unmold, place a large flat plate over the cheesecake and invert. Tap the bottom of the pan gently to release the cheesecake. This should be easy with the parchment paper.
