🧑‍🍳 Chef Tips for making a perfect cheesecake. 

1. Use room-temperature ingredients

  • Cream cheese and fresh cream should be at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.

2. Do not overbeat the mixture

  • Overmixing can make the cheesecake dense or cause air bubbles. Mix gently, especially after adding whipped cream.

3. Press the biscuit base firmly

  • A well - compresged base helps the cheesecake hold its shape while slicing.

4. Chill for enough time

  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6–8 hourg or overnight for best texture and clean slices.

5. Balance sweetness with lemon juice

  1. A little lemon juice enhances flavor and cuts the richness of the cream cheese.

6. Let gelatin cool slightly before mixing

  • Hot gelatin can curdle the cream cheese mixture.

7. Use a springform pan if possible

  • It makes demoulding easier and keeps the cheesecake edges neat.

8. Clean knife for perfect slices

  • Dip the knife in hot water, wipe, and then slice for clean cuts.

9. Topping goes last

  • Add fruit, sauces, or chocolate only after the cheesecake has fully set
