2. Smooth Filling: Beat the cream cheese until completely smooth before adding other ingredients to prevent lumps.
3. Gentle Mixing: Add eggs one at a time and mix gently to avoid incorporating too much air, which can cause cracking.
4. Even Cooking: Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to ensure gentle cooking and a creamy texture.
5. Chill Thoroughly: Allow the cheesecake to cool and then chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator to set perfectly before adding the ganache.
