Tips for a perfect cheesecake

Do not cook too much, even though it may seem uncooked, the cheesecake is actually ready when the center is still creamy. The residual heat will continue to cook the central part once the cake is extracted from the oven.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool or just let it cool in the oven for an hour. This will help to avoid the center of the cheesecake from sinking. When it cools, the center will be fully hardened!

Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: the most effective way to perfectly bake a cheesecake, avoiding that the surface cracks or that the center lunges, is cooking in a water bath. Since the water starts to evaporate when it reaches the boiling point, does not heat never above 100 ° C, regardless of the temperature of the oven. This means that the sides and the bottom of the cheesecake not bake faster than the center, avoiding that the latter lunges causing cracks on the surface.

The importance of temperature: Make sure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before using them for the dough or you'll lumps in the cheesecake. If you have any lumps in the mixture, pass quickly in a mixer for rendelo smooth and silky.

Do not forget cooling: a cheesecake needs several hours of cooling and settling. This makes it a perfect cake to be baked the day before.
