In a large bowl with electric handheld mixer beat cream cheese for 2 minutes on low speed, there should be no lumps. Add in sugar and mix until full combined.
Pour cheesecake batter on top of the crust into ⅔ full. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until the cheesecakes are not jiggling, if the cheesecakes crack they are beginning to overbake.
Turn the oven off, open the door and let the cheesecakes cool inside the oven for 30 min. Transfer the cheesecake pan to a wire rack to cool for thirty minutes then cover and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
