Pay Attention To The Crust
Crust plays a crucial role in a cheesecake. For the right crust, you can finely grind cookies, or crackers or nuts in food processor to get the perfect consistency of the crust. For better flavour, you can add herbs and even citrus peels.
Use Full-Fat Ingredients
It is advisable to use sour cream and regular cream cheese in cheesecake until and unless using reduced-fat or fat-free products is extremely compulsory. Adding full-fat ingredients in the cheesecake can bring the right consistency and tastes good too.
Ingredients Should Be In Room Temperature
This is one of the most underrated tips you can ever get. While making cheesecakes, you must take care that all the ingredients you are using should be in room temperature. Especially, the eggs and cream cheese must be in room temperature so that they can blend smoothly and don’t have a bad lumpy texture.
Pan Greasing
Every time? Yes, every time. Even if your pan is nonstick, you must grease the pan to avoid the batter from sticking to the edges and stretching to the sides leading to cracks.
Using A Water Bath
Your recipe may not call for it but water bath is an essential step. It helps the cheesecake in baking evenly and gently. Besides, the hot water steam creates a humid environment for baking the cheesecake which prevents dreaded cracks.
Follow these tips and make the perfect cheesecake, every single time!
