Tips:

  • Prepare Ingredients Accurately: Precise measurements and high-quality ingredients are essential for a successful cheesecake. Use a kitchen scale to weigh ingredients for accuracy.
  • Beat Cream Cheese Until Smooth: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature and beat it until it's completely smooth and free of lumps. This will prevent a grainy texture in the cheesecake.
  • Gradually Add Sugar: Instead of dumping all the sugar at once, add it gradually while continuously beating the cream cheese. This helps prevent the cheesecake from becoming too dense.
  • Beat Eggs One at a Time: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the cheesecake from curdling and ensures a smooth texture.
  • Use Fresh Vanilla Bean: If possible, use fresh vanilla bean instead of extract for a more intense vanilla flavor. Split the bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds before adding them to the cheesecake batter.
  • Make the Caramel Sauce in Advance: Prepare the caramel sauce ahead of time and allow it to cool completely before assembling the cheesecake. This will prevent the caramel from seeping into the cheesecake and making it soggy.
  • Water Bath Method: Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to create a moist and evenly cooked cheesecake. Place the cheesecake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
  • Chill Thoroughly: Allow the cheesecake to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, before serving. This will help the cheesecake set properly and develop its full flavor.
