  10. Remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth batter. Avoid overbaking to keep the cheesecake creamy. You can substitute chocolate chips with white chocolate or mix nuts for variation.
