Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan)/180°C (conventional).

- Turn off the oven and open the door slightly, but leave the cheesecake inside to cool slowly for at least an hour.
- Once the cheesecake has cooled to room temperature, carefully remove it from the tin, slice, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and additional caramel sauce (if desired).
