Tips for making perfect baked cheesecake:Make sure your ingredients are all at room temperature before you start combining your mixture to avoid lumps. Be careful not to over-whip your ingredients. This can result in uneven cooking, bubbles, and cracking. Maintain a steady oven temperature that isn’t too high. Give your cheesecake time to set after cooking.
If you’re baking for a special occasion it’s better to bake a day in advance. Let your cheesecake sit in the oven with the heat turned off and the door slightly ajar after cooking to ensure less cracking. The overall colour should be pale with a slight tint rather than golden brown. Don’t overbake or your cheesecake will be dry and crumbly in texture. The middle should still have a slight wobble after baking, and it will continue to set as it cools. This is the archetypal baked cheesecake, the one that’s sure to please everyone and can be served with any berry coulis that you, or your guests, prefer.
