Calculations:
The following ingredients are calculated for the use of a 7-inch round mold during baking; the original tutorial used a 6-inch round mold.

- It is normal for the cheesecake to be wobbly when you take it out of the oven. The texture isn't best right after it cools; it must be refrigerated to taste good!
