6. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust and smooth out the top.
7. Bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is just set.
8. Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours to set.
9. Take out the cheesecake from the pan and top with whipped cream before serving.
