Should you decide to make your own cheesecake, here are some tips to help you create the perfect cheesecake!

CHEESECAKE TIPS

  • * Bring all ingredients to room temperature before mixing.
  • * To soften cream cheese in the microwave: place unwrapped 8 oz. cheese in a microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 15 seconds. Add 15 seconds for each additional bar of cheese.
  • * Mix filling only until combined. Don’t over mix.
  • * Use a spring form pan so that the sides can be removed.
  • * Place spring form pan on a shallow pan, like a pizza pan , or cover bottom and up one inch around the sides with aluminum foil to avoid leaks in the oven.
  • * Place a shallow pan of water in rack below cheesecake to keep oven moist
  • * A perfectly baked cheesecake will be puffed around the edges. When shaken, about an inch in diameter in the center should jiggle.
  • * Store in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for up to four days.
  • * The bottom of the pan can be removed from the cheesecake once the cake has firmed in the refrigerator. Use two spatulas to move cake to serving platter.
  • * Cheesecakes taste best when brought to room temperature–about 30 minutes.
  • * Securely wrap an already firm, about 4 hours in the refrigerator, cheesecake to be put in the freezer. Cheesecakes can be kept for up to 2 months in the freezer.
  • * Thaw frozen cheesecake overnight in the refrigerator.
