Cool while you lower the oven to 325\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">Whip the filling. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, then stir in cooled espresso. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Bold tip: avoid overbeating \u2014 too much air causes cracks.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">Bake in a water bath. Pour filling on crust. Place the springform pan inside a larger pan, add hot water to create a bain-marie, and bake 65\u201385 minutes until the edges set and the center jiggles slightly.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Cool slowly.
