Equipment

Notes

  • Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: Make sure all cold ingredients (cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream) are at room temperature before mixing. This ensures a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can incorporate too much air, leading to cracks or a puffy, uneven cheesecake. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Wrap the Springform Pan in Aluminum Foil (Optional but Helpful!): Wrapping the bottom of the cheesecake pan in foil helps prevent condensation from making the crust soggy. Placing a paper towel on top of the pan, under the foil, absorbs excess moisture and prevents water droplets from pooling on the surface.
  • Tap the Pan to Remove Air Bubbles: After pouring the batter, gently tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles. You can also swirl a toothpick through the batter to help.
  • Let It Cool Before Chilling: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before refrigerating. Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to let the flavors develop and the texture set.
  • Clean Knife for Slicing: Dip a knife in hot water and wipe it clean between slices for perfectly smooth cheesecake servings!
  • Prepare the Springform Pan: To easily remove the cheesecake, use a prepared pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment paper and spray the sides with nonstick cooking spray. The parchment paper at the bottom of the springform pan makes it very easy to remove.
  • Use a Foil Sling: If you’d like, use a long piece of foil to make a sling sling to lower and lift the cheesecake out of the pressure cooker for easier removal!
