Perfect Strawberry Cheesecake (New York Style)
This is a true New York Cheesecake - rich, thick, creamy, smooth, and decadent. The low/slow baking method prevents sinking/cracking on top. Can be made 2-3 days ahead of time and chilled until ready to serve. Leftovers freeze very well.

Bake
10
Pour batter into prepared pan. Place springform pan on large baking sheet. Bake in center rack, until filling is mostly set, about 3.⏱️ 5 hours - or until center very slightly jiggles when you gently shake it. Cheesecake will set upon chilling.

Turn Off Oven

Turn oven off. Crack oven open a bit, and allow cheesecake to cool at least ⏱️ 2 hours or longer - I leave it in oven until it reaches room temperature.

Chill in fridge in springform pan; at least overnight and up to 3 days. Run thin knife carefully around edges of pan, and release springform, when ready to serve.
