Make sure to have all your ingredients at room temp so they will properly emulsify.
Pre-heat oven to 450F because the oven temp drops when you open the oven door, and we need a high enough temp to caramelize this cheesecake.
The cheesecake should be puffed, the top should be caramelized, the side should be baked, and the center should be slightly jiggly. It is better to slightly under-bake this cheesecake to achieve that lovely signature creamy texture.
