For an extra layer of pecan flavor, toast the pecan halves before garnishing. This enhances their nutty aroma and adds a delightful crunch. To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking. This creates a humid environment that helps the cheesecake bake evenly. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps and create a smoother batter.
