Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.

  6. Pour the prepared filling into the crust and spread evenly.
  7. Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 55-65 minutes until the center has a slight jiggle.
  8. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge.
  9. Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight to enhance flavor and texture.
  10. Whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form, gradually adding powdered sugar.
  11. Spread whipped cream over cheesecake and sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
