Notes
Top Tips:
- Make sure that all of your ingredients are at room temperature including the eggs. This will allow everything to come together smoothly and lump-free.
- Make sure that your springform pan is properly wrapped with aluminum foil. This will prevent the water from getting into the pan.
- Do not, again, do not, open the oven door before the 60-minute mark. This will cause the cheesecake to fall.
- Don’t skip the steps of allowing the cheesecake to rest in intervals. This helps the cheesecake to set and hold its silky shape.
- Be careful not to splash the hot water into the cheesecake. You can fill the roasting pan at the oven door if it’s easier.
