Recipe Tips
- Variation
Prepare using Neufchatel cheese and reduced-fat sour cream. - Make it Easy
When cutting creamy-textured desserts, such as cheesecakes, carefully wipe off the knife blade between cuts with a damp clean towel. This prevents the creamy filling from building up on the blade, ensuring nice clean cuts that leave the filling intact. - How to Test for Doneness
Check a cheesecake for doneness by gently shaking the pan. If the cheesecake is done, it will be set except for a small area in the center that will be soft and jiggly. Do not insert a knife into the center as this can cause the cooled cheesecake to crack.
