1. This cheesecake has a low level of sweetness. Feel free to increase the sugar amount if you prefer a sweeter cheesecake.
2. A tray under your springform cake tin is always a good idea for easy cleanup. Even where the cheesecake does not leak in the oven, sometimes moisture leaks out during cooling in the fridge.
3. If you prefer a more custard-like cheesecake, bake for 45 minutes. The top will be set but will retain a slight jiggle. If you prefer your cheesecake more done, bake for 55 minutes. The top will have more color and the cheesecake will not jiggle. Baking time may vary based on your oven.
