  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter: Overbeating the batter will make the cheesecake dense and crumbly. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake bars in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake bars in a water bath will help to prevent them from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Chill the cheesecake bars before serving: The cheesecake bars need to be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
