How to Avoid Getting Crack in your Cheesecake

We found that wrapping the springform pan with tinfoil and then placing it in a baking pan with water made for a cheesecake without that awful crack down the middle. Grease the sides and place wax paper on the bottom of the pan. white chocolate raspberry cheesecake

Must use water (HOT) bath for even cookings 1″ of water in baking pan. Wrap the pan in foil so water doesn’t seep through. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN AFTER BAKING FOR 1 hour, leave the cake alone.

After the initial 1 hour baking and the 1 hour resting time in the oven then transfer to the refrigerator. Run a knife around the cake after it comes out of the oven so it doesn’t stick to sides.

How to Best Cut a Cheesecake

For cutting perfect, clean pieces – run a clean, long, thin knife under hot water. Quickly dry it off with a towel and slice straight down and out. Repeat for EVERY SLICE! 

How to Top This Amazing Cheesecake? 

We advise saving some of the raspberry sauce and adding some to the plate.  You can then serve it with fresh raspberries if you wish as well.
