Question 1

Why is my cheesecake pie cracked on the top?

Accepted Answer

Cracks commonly occur because of overmixing, which incorporates too much air or overbaking the cheesecake. It can also be due to sudden temperature changes. To avoid this, don't mix more than necessary once the eggs are added and take care to not overbake. Let it cool down slowly in the oven.

Question 2

Why is my crust soggy?

Accepted Answer

A soggy crust can result from underbaking or when your filling is too wet. Try baking the crust a little before adding the filling or reducing the moisture in your filling.

Question 3

How do I know when my cheesecake pie is done?

Accepted Answer

The cheesecake pie is done when it's still slightly jiggly in the center but firm on the edges. Remember, your cheesecake will continue to cook slightly while it's cooling.

Question 4

Why is my cheesecake pie not smooth?

Accepted Answer

Uneven texture in cheesecake usually comes from the cream cheese not being properly softened or mixed. Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese and beat until it's completely smooth before adding other ingredients.

Question 5

How can I make my cheesecake pie creamier?

Accepted Answer

For a creamier cheesecake pie, use full-fat cream cheese and don't overbake. Some too prefer adding a bit of sour cream or heavy cream to the batter.

Question 6

Why does my cheesecake pie taste eggy?

Accepted Answer

An eggy flavor could result from adding too many eggs or not incorporating them properly into the batter. When adding eggs, ensure that each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Question 7

How can I avoid a burnt crust but fully cooked cheesecake filling?

Accepted Answer

Avoid a burnt crust by using a water bath when baking. The water bath will ensure even cooking of your cheesecake pie, and reduce the risk of burning the crust.

Question 8

Why is my cheesecake pie not set/collapsed in the middle?

Accepted Answer

If your cheesecake pie is not firm in the middle, it may not have cooked long enough or it's been removed from the oven too quickly. Remember to let it cool in the oven itself before taking it out.

Question 9

Why is the filling of my cheesecake pie lumpy?

Accepted Answer

Lumpy cheesecake filling usually indicates that the cream cheese was not at room temperature before mixing or wasn't mixed well. To avoid this, ensure the cream cheese is soft enough to be mixed and beat it until smooth before adding other ingredients.

Question 10

Can I use low-fat cream cheese for my cheesecake pie?

Accepted Answer

You can, but using full-fat cream cheese will give you a richer, creamier texture. If you're counting calories, a low-fat or a light cream cheese is an acceptable alternative but may alter the texture and flavor a bit.
