Easy Tips for Making the Best Cheesecakes
Now that you may have found a cheesecake recipe to try, here are a few of my expert tips on making sure it turns out beautifully!
- Cheesecakes need to cool: any cheesecake, mango, strawberry, hazelnut, etc., needs to cool. That’s my first tip and one that I always ask people to follow. Make the cheesecake a day ahead and let it chill in the fridge overnight. It makes a wonderful difference to the consistency and is the secret to a good cake.
- Don’t over mix the filling: The more you whisk, the more aerated it becomes, which can cause cracks. Plus, less air keeps the cake moist, rich, and dense.
- Use a springform cake pan: and cover the base and sides with foil. It’s easier to remove and gives you a mess-free oven (in case the batter decides to leak out).
- Bake a cheesecake at a low temperature: It’s key to a moist cake and not a dry one.
Note - these tips apply to most cheesecakes in my expereince, but always follow the recipe specific tips to ensure you don't miss any small details!
I hope that you fall in love with these simple cheesecake recipes & add some to your dessert reportoire! I'd love to hear from you about your favorite cheesecakes and what kind of recipes you'd be interested to see. Happy baking!
