- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve chilled with whipped cream and caramel sauce.
