Cheesecake Success Tip
To help avoid cracking during the cooling
process, run a sharp knife around the inside edge of the pan so that the cake
can pull away freely as it contracts.
Some cheesecakes, particularly dense ones, sink when cooled. If your cheesecake
falls or cracks, remember that it doesn't affect the texture or flavor. Simply
garnish with whipped cream, sour cream, berries, nuts or a layer of chocolate
ganache and no one will know. |
