Table of Contents How Do You Know When Your Cheesecake Is Done? There’s just nothing to beat a creamy homemade cheesecake, but you may wonder how to tell if your cheesecake is done. Give your cheesecake a gentle shake. If it looks as if it’s almost set except for a small circle in the middle that jiggles a little, your cheesecake is ready to exit the oven. The jiggly center will firm up as the cheesecake becomes cool. Cheesecakes that include sour cream will have a somewhat larger soft spot in the center and a little more jiggle. Watch this video to see what to look for. A springform pan comes into its own when baking a delicate cake, such as a cheesecake. When the cake is cool enough, the pan’s sides are removed, leaving the cake still sitting on the pan’s base. This makes slicing the cake much easier, and you don’t have to risk breaking your perfect creation when transferring it to a serving plate. Many home bakers opt to use a water bath with a springform pan. A water bath will prevent bad things from happening to your cheesecake – browned edges, center collapse when cooling, and cracking. Click this link for information on using a water bath and preventing leaks from your springform pan. If you don’t have a springform pan, there are some other options, but for a perfectly baked cheesecake, you can’t go wrong with a springform pan.Storage Tips for Cheesecake Do you adore cheesecake but aren’t sure how to store it properly? If you only want to keep your cheesecake for two or three days, put it in an airtight container and place it in the fridge. You can freeze a cheesecake – up to 3 months will retain its best quality. Here’s how to go about it. Cool your cheesecake in the fridge before moving it to the freezer. If your cheesecake is in a springform pan, remove the pan’s sides and leave it uncovered in your freezer for about an hour.After an hour, take the cheesecake out of the freezer and separate it from the pan’s bottom. (You may have to use a knife to pry it away.)Wrap the cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap, and place it in a large freezer bag or wrap it in heavy-duty aluminum foil.If storing an entire cake is taking up most of the space in your freezer, you can cut it into pieces and wrap each individual piece.Defrosting Your Cheesecake For a whole cake, take it out of the freezer and leave it overnight in the refrigerator. Individual slices can be defrosted in the refrigerator or at room temperature (45–60 minutes). Olive Garden Peaches and Cream Cheesecake Serve your peach cheesecake with a topping of whipped cream. And, if the top of your cheesecake does crack, with whipped cream, no one will ever know.
