For a richer flavor, use European-style butter in the crust. Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened to avoid lumps in the filling. The water bath is crucial for a smooth, crack-free cheesecake. Don't skip it! For a more intense lemon flavor, add a few drops of lemon extract to the filling. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular cake pan lined with parchment paper, but it will be more challenging to remove the cheesecake. Gently tap the springform pan on the counter a few times before baking to release any trapped air bubbles. Make sure not to overbake the cheesecake, as it will continue to set as it cools.
