Preparing Cheesecake

1. Use room temperature cream cheese.

How do you tell if baked cheesecake is done?

The secret to testing a cheesecake for doneness: Jiggle it. Define jiggle, you say. Gently shake the cheesecake (wearing oven mitts, of course). If the cheesecake looks nearly set and only a small circle in the center jiggles slightly, it’s done.

What happens if Cheesecake is undercooked?

Why is my cheesecake soft in the middle?

Overmixing. While cheesecake should be thoroughly mixed with a hand mixer, mixing it too much will result in a super soft cheesecake. To help your cheesecake keep its form, never mix longer than the recipe instructs and avoid tools like a blender or food processor, which can prevent it from setting.

What can I use instead of a springform pan for cheesecake?

If your recipe calls for a 10-inch springform pan, a 9×13 pan, 9-inch tube pan or 10-inch Bundt cake pan would be good substitutes. You can also use multiple pans for the batter, though you’ll need to double the crust. Two deep-dish pie plates, 9-inch cake pans or 8×4-inch loaf pans would all work well.
