Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and edges are lightly browned.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
