Be careful not to overmix the cheesecake filling, as this can result in a dense and crumbly texture.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent the top from cracking.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating, as this will help prevent the cheesecake from sinking in the middle.
For a richer flavor, use a combination of cream cheese and mascarpone cheese.
If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the edges of the graham cracker crust so that it fits snugly inside the pie plate.
