7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake.
10. Remove the sides of the springform pan and let the cheesecake cool completely.
11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set.
12. Before serving, top with whipped cream, shredded coconut, and maraschino cherries if desired.
