Recipe View Serve: Once completely chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Serve cold and enjoy!

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality amaretto liqueur.
To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, place a pan of hot water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. This creates a moist environment.
Gently tap the springform pan on the counter a few times before baking to release any trapped air bubbles.
If the top of the cheesecake begins to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Serve with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of elegance.
