11. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Tip: This gradual cooling helps prevent surface cracks.
12. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

16. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
