• Bake in the preheated oven until fragrant and starting to turn crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool while you prepare the cheesecake filling. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Transfer to the center rack in oven and carefully pour boiling water into the roasting pan to come up 1 inch on the sides of the springform pan, being careful to not let water get into cheesecake.

Remove from the oven and take cheesecake out of the roasting pan. Set aside to cool completely, about 30 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
