Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cream cheese. This will ensure that your cheesecake is rich and creamy.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing it. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can make the cheesecake dense and dry.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  • When making the chocolate ganache, use a high-quality chocolate. This will ensure that the ganache is rich and flavorful.
