Pour the filling into the prepared, cooled, foiled springform pan.
Place the cheesecake in the center of the roasting pan in the oven.
Carefully pour the boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Let the cheesecake cool on a cooling rack. Once cooled, run a knife along the edges and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
Optional: Top with whipped cream before serving.
