- Turn oven off and leave door slightly open for 1 hour.

Tips:
- Use full-fat cream cheese. It will give your cheesecake a rich, creamy texture.
- Don't overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Use fresh lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can make your cheesecake taste sour.
- Don't overbake the cheesecake. An overbaked cheesecake will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
