For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before using. This will prevent lumps in the batter. The water bath is crucial for achieving a moist and evenly baked cheesecake. It helps to prevent cracking and ensures a tender texture. Folding the egg whites gently is key to maintaining the airy texture of the cheesecake. Avoid overmixing, which can deflate the batter. If the cheesecake begins to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Serve with fresh berries, a light fruit compote, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance.

Nov 28, 2024I accidentally overbaked mine a little, but it was still delicious. Next time, I'll check it a few minutes earlier.

Oct 19, 2024I've made this cheesecake several times now and it's always a hit. I sometimes substitute lemon extract for the vanilla extract for a little extra zing.
