For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture. To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, you can blind bake it for 10 minutes before adding the filling. If the top of the cheesecake starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. For a cleaner cut, use a warm, wet knife to slice the cheesecake.
