3️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake (Water Bath Method):
- Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
- Place the pan in a large baking dish and pour hot water into the dish until it reaches halfway up the sides.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
4️⃣ Caramelize the Sugar Topping:
- Sprinkle ¼ cup sugar evenly over the cheesecake.
- Use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar until it forms a golden, crispy layer.
- If you don’t have a torch, broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes until the sugar caramelizes.
- Let the topping cool and harden before serving.
