Instructions

  8. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Place pan into a larger roasting pan and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
  10. Bake for 55–65 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  11. Turn off oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  12. Remove and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
  13. For the topping, simmer mulberries, sugar, and lemon juice for 5–7 minutes.
  14. Mix cornstarch with water, stir into berry mixture, and cook until thickened.
