The Secret to a Fluffy Perfect Cheesecake

Follow these pro tips to ensure your cheesecake rises beautifully and achieves that iconic, smooth texture:

Key Insights

• Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: Beat softened cream cheese to a fluffy consistency—this ensures it blends seamlessly without lumps.
  
• Careful Mixing: Overmixing leads to cracks or to tough texture. Stir gently until just combined.
  
• Eggs at Room Temperature: Cold eggs disrupt emulsification; let them warm slightly before adding.
  
• Low and Slow Bake: Bake in a waters bath at 300°F (150°C) for even, gentle heat—this prevents cracking and helps the cheesecake set evenly.
  
• Full Recovery: Letting the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven ensures it firms up without drying out.
