Light and Fluffy Japanese Cheesecake

FAQs

1. Why did my cheesecake crack?
Cracks in the cheesecake usually occur if it cools too quickly or if there’s too much air in the batter. Cooling the cheesecake slowly in the oven and tapping out air bubbles before baking can help prevent this.

2. Can I skip the water bath?
A water bath (bain-marie) helps ensure even baking and keeps the cheesecake moist. Skipping it may result in a drier texture and a cracked top.

3. Can I use a springform pan?
Yes, you can use a springform pan, but make sure to wrap the bottom of the pan in aluminum foil to prevent water from leaking into the batter during the water bath.
