4. Bake the Cheesecake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly wobbly but not liquid. It will firm up as it cools.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about 1 hour with the door slightly ajar. This helps prevent cracking.
Afterward, let the cheesecake cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal) to allow it to set fully.
5. Prepare the Kiwi Topping:

In a small bowl, combine the sliced kiwi, honey, and lemon juice (optional). Toss gently to coat the slices in the honey mixture.
Let the kiwi slices marinate for about 15 minutes to release some of their juices.
