Recipe FAQs
- → What’s the point of a water bath?
A water bath keeps the heat even and adds moisture. This ensures your cheesecake stays smooth and avoids those pesky cracks.
- → Why cool the cheesecake slowly?
Sudden temperature variations can ruin the texture, making it crack or sink. Cooling it slowly keeps it looking great.
- → What’s the reason for wrapping the pan in foil?
Foil stops water from sneaking into the pan. This protects the crust from getting soggy while it bakes.
- → How far in advance can you make this?
Cheesecake benefits from chilling for at least 8 hours. You can prep it 2 days before and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve.
- → What can I do to stop cracks?
Use the water bath, let it cool gradually, and keep the oven door shut. Make sure your ingredients aren’t cold when you mix them, too.
