Make Filling
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar; mix well. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
Bake Cheesecake

Cooling

Prepare Topping
- Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over cheesecake before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese and eggs are room temperature for smooth mixing. Avoid overmixing to prevent cracks and maintain moisture with the water bath method.
