Cheesecake is a delicious treat that is prepared with just a few ingredients.

However, despite the simplicity of the recipe, the cheesecake often doesn’t turn out well.

Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you about typical mistakes that many people make when making cheesecake.

Why cheesecake doesn't work

One of the most common problems is that the pie turns out runny after baking. The reason may be as follows:

  • the dish is not finished baking;
  • poor quality cheese;
  • the recipe was not followed.

Please note that for every 300 grams of cream cheese, no more than 100 grams of cream are used. Therefore, if the recipe specifies a larger amount of liquid, you should be wary.

If the cheesecake has risen after baking, this means that you have beaten the mixture too vigorously, which is why air has formed in it.

It also happens that the cheesecake does not set in the refrigerator. The problem is the same - it is too liquid and not baked enough, so it is better to return it back to the oven and finish cooking.
