For an extra smooth cheesecake, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature. Do not overmix the batter after adding the eggs, as this can incorporate too much air and cause the cheesecake to crack. To prevent a soggy crust, you can pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before adding the filling. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
