Question 1

Why should I use a springform pan?

Accepted Answer

It is much easier to remove your cheesecake with the detachable sides. Unlike regular cakes, you cannot just flip them over to get them out of the pan. You have to either remove the sides or line it with parchment paper to get it out of the pan easily. Springform pans are also great for making deep-dish pizzas, chocolate mousse, and quiches.

Question 2

Do I need to use a water bath?

Accepted Answer

Our recipe does not call for a water bath. However, it is always a good idea to use one to prevent dryness and cracks. The water helps keep the oven moist and prevents your cheesecake from cooking too fast. It will also keep the top flat rather than caved in.

Question 3

Why do you add coffee to chocolate?

Accepted Answer

If you have never tried using coffee in your chocolate when baking, you have to try it. Then you will know the answer and you will never make chocolate baked goods without it. The coffee adds depth and makes it taste even richer than regular chocolate. In a 2020 study, it was found that coffee increases sensitivity to sweet flavors and decreases the bitter flavor.
