Question 1

Why did my cheesecake crack?

Accepted Answer

Cheesecake cracks are common. Especially when cooking it at a high temperature. With this recipe, it is baked at 285 degrees to prevent such issues. However, if you are really worried about it, try using a water bath and do not open the oven door while it is baking.

Question 2

How do you make a water bath?

Accepted Answer

Fill a roasting pan with boiling water but only about an inch from the top of the cake pan. Using hot water makes steam, which helps keep the cake moist as it bakes. This prevents the cheesecake from becoming dry and cracking. It also makes your dessert creamier.

Question 3

How can I fix cheesecake cracks?

Accepted Answer

Even if you did everything perfectly, sometimes cheesecakes just crack. Before you try to fix it, make sure your cheesecake is cold. To fix simple cracks, use your fingers to push the two sides together as much as you can. Then, use a hot spatula to smooth the sides together. If the cracks are stubborn, just cover them with extra raspberry sauce or whipped cream.
