Cheesecake seems to be a daunting recipe for some reason. So many people are intimidated by the classic dessert, but at the end of the day, it really is a quite simple recipe. There are a few basic rules to follow when making the perfect cheesecake, which will ensure a creamy and perfect dessert.
Tips & Tricks for the Perfect Cheesecake
Bake in a moist oven: When preheating the oven, place a 9″x13″ pan, half filled with hot tap water on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake the cheesecake on the middle rack above the pan of water.
Do NOT overbeat the mixture.
Do NOT peek into oven when baking
Do NOT over bake: When the edges are done they should be slightly puffed and golden. The center area, about the size of a silver dollar, should still appear soft and moist. The center will firm upon cooling.
Cool cheesecake on a wire rack for 1 hour before refrigerating.
Remove cheesecake from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
As a young child, my mother would often make the Jello-O box mix cheesecake dessert with the canned cherries. Needless to say, I was never a big fan. At the time, it was a quick and simple dessert she could whip up for her busy family of six. Over the years, she picked up a great cheesecake recipe from her cousin. The first time she made it for our family, we were all instantly hooked. She typically only made it for special occasions, but this Creamy New York Cheesecake with Fresh Fruit is something we all still get excited about to this day!
I realized after I photographed this beautiful cheesecake, that the fruit was actually hiding the fact that there were no cracks in the top, which is a common frustration with cheesecakes. If you follow the directions with a moist oven and don’t over bake it, you will get a perfectly smooth top that you are sure to be proud of!
