Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the sugar has caramelized and hardened, your Crème Brûlée Cheesecake is ready to serve. Slice carefully, and be sure to enjoy the contrast of the smooth, creamy cheesecake and the crunchy, caramelized sugar.
Tips for Success
- Room temperature ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese, eggs, and other dairy ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This ensures a smoother filling.
- Prevent cracks: A water bath helps maintain even heat, which minimizes the risk of cracks. Additionally, avoid overmixing the batter to reduce the air bubbles that could cause cracks as the cheesecake cools.
- Chill thoroughly: For the best texture and flavor, allow the cheesecake to chill in the fridge for several hours or overnight. This helps it set perfectly.
