How To Make A Soft Cheesecake?
• Room Temperature Ingredients And Baking Time With Temperature
Cold cream cheese can be a nightmare to work with. Cream cheese tends to become lumpy when mixed with other ingredients unless it has reached room temperature. As a result, the batter develops large chunks. Blending other cold ingredients can cause room-temperature cream cheese to clump up again. If the batter becomes clumpy, pass it through a fine-mesh sieve. This will remove any large chunks.
Alternatively, you can use a food processor for a lumps-free batter. The best way to make a smooth cheesecake is to bake it at a low temperature for an extended period.
