Prepare a larger baking tin and place a round cake tin inside it.

Line the round cake tin with two to three squares or sheets of parchment paper and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until fully combined, avoiding overmixing.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate any bits that may not have been fully mixed in.

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the lined tin, filling it as high as possible.

Place the cheesecake in a preheated oven and bake.

Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool fully before refrigerating for at least one hour to firm up.

Remove the cheesecake from the tin, being careful with the parchment paper, which may stick.

Slice the cheesecake into portions, noting that it is lighter than a New York style cheesecake.
