6. Pour the filling over the crust. Set pan into a larger dish with 1 inch of hot water.

7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until center slightly jiggles.

8. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.

9. Before serving, top with glaze or melted white chocolate, whipped cream, and fresh raspberries.

10. Slice with a clean, sharp knife and serve chilled.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for best results—low-fat versions may affect texture.

Avoid overmixing once eggs are added to prevent cracks.

Chill overnight to fully set and develop flavor—don’t skip this step!
