Notes: This is an amazing cheesecake. To cook the cheesecake perfectly, place a pan of water on a lower level in the oven while cooking the cheesecake. When the cheesecake is done cooking, turn the oven off but keep the cheesecake inside the oven to cool. This keeps the cracks on top of the cheesecake from appearing.
