The steam from the hot water will lift the cheesecake up slowly and evenly, reducing the risk of cracks on the surface.
#HOW DO YOU MAKE CHEESE CAKE AND NOT HAVE IT CRACK SITE UPDATE#
I figured it’s time for an update and a video tutorial, so here goes nothing!Ĭheesecake loves a humid environment. What’s the point, you ask? I actually wrote an entire post about a cheesecake water bath years ago.
All you’re doing is placing the springform pan in a roasting pan, filling it with hot water, and baking. I promise a water bath is nothing complicated. Springform pans can leak if you’re baking the cheesecake in a water bath (more on that below!), but this particular pan is reliable. A springform pan has removable sides so you can safely release the cheesecake without having to flip the pan over or struggle to cut the cheesecake inside the pan. Speaking of, you’ll need a 9 or 10-inch springform pan. I like to use the bottom of a small measuring cup to pack the crust tightly into the springform pan. Make sure you pack the crust in very tight and pre-bake it to help prevent any sogginess. I find this crust remains a little more crunchy.

I reduced the butter and granulated sugar from my original graham cracker crust recipe by 1 Tablespoon each. Since classic is the keyword of the day, we’re sticking with cheesecake’s main squeeze: a graham cracker crust. Beating cold ingredients together will result in a chunky over-beaten cheesecake batter, hardly the way we want to start! This will whip air into the cheesecake batter, resulting in cheesecake cracking and deflating.Īnd as always, make sure all of the cheesecake batter ingredients are at room temperature so the batter remains smooth, even, and combines quickly. Do not overmix the batter once the eggs are added. You’ll beat the eggs in last, one at a time, until they are *just* incorporated.
Eggs: 3 eggs are the final ingredient. The lemon juice brightens up the cheesecake’s overall flavor and vanilla is always a good idea. 
A little flavor: 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 2 of lemon juice. Sour cream is most definitely the right choice. The cheesecake was soft, but lacked the stability and richness I wanted. I was curious about the heavy cream addition and figured it would yield a softer cheesecake bite. I recently tested a cheesecake recipe with 1 cup of heavy cream instead, but ended up sticking with my original (which can be found here with blueberry swirls!). Using only 1 cup of sugar gives this cheesecake the opportunity to balance tangy and sweet, just as classic cheesecake should taste. Over-sweetened cheesecake is hardly cheesecake anymore. Not that much considering how many mouths you can feed with this dessert. There’s no diets allowed in cheesecake, so don’t pick up the reduced fat variety! Make sure you’re buying the blocks of cream cheese and not cream cheese spread. Block cream cheese: Four 8-ounce blocks of full-fat cream cheese are the base of this cheesecake. You only need a few basic staple ingredients for this cheesecake recipe. I have plenty of tricks that will help guarantee classic cheesecake perfection, including determining when the cheesecake is done and everything you need to know about a cheesecake water bath. Many factors are at play like the springform pan leaking, the surface of the cheesecake cracking, under-baking, over-baking, etc. Preparing my cheesecake recipe is rather simple– it’s baking the cheesecake that could result in a flop. While there’s a glaring absence of chunks, swirls, and sprinkles in this ivory crowned jewel, there’s nothing plain about her. When I imagine what Chandler and Rachel’s stolen cheesecake tastes like, it’s this! It’s thick, it’s velvety, and there’s no denying its decadence. My cheesecake recipe is not quite as dense as New York cheesecake, but boasts equal richness and is just as special. To me, classic cheesecake is creamy, silky, and smooth. That’s a lot of cheesecake recipes without a single nod to where it all originates: classic cheesecake. There’s always been peanut butter, sprinkles, blueberry swirls, Snickers cheesecake, pumpkin, lemon, red velvet, or Nutella. For the best results, bake in a water bath.Īs much as I love cheesecake, I’ve never published a classic cheesecake recipe. Look no further for a creamy and ultra smooth classic cheesecake recipe! Paired with a buttery graham cracker crust, no one can deny its simple decadence.
