Expert Tips for Making New York Cheesecake:

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Take the cream cheese and eggs out of the fridge 2 hours before baking. This helps them mix better.

Blend Cream Cheese and Sugar First: Mix the cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar. This makes the cheesecake creamy.

Add Eggs After Sugar: Put eggs in after sugar to avoid a lumpy batter.

Add Eggs One at a Time: Mix in eggs one by one for a smooth batter.

Use Dark Chocolate from a Block: It gives a rich chocolate taste. Bar chocolate is better than chocolate chips for baking.

Add Slightly Warm Chocolate: Warm chocolate blends better for a smooth batter.

Tap Pan and Pop Air Bubbles: Before baking, tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.

Bake Gently: Bake at a slightly lower temperature for a silky smooth filling.

Don't Over-Bake: Cheesecake is ready when the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.

Chill for at Least 2 Hours: Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
