HOW TO GET THE BEST CHEESECAKE TEXTURE:
To get the best cheesecake texture, be sure to use full-fat cream cheese and eggs at room temperature. Room temperature ingredients mix together more easily and produce a smoother cheesecake.
Use a water bath: A water bath helps to prevent cracks in the cheesecake and also adds moisture to the air around the cheesecake while it bakes, resulting in a softer, smoother cheesecake. To use a water bath, simply place the pan with the cheesecake batter in it into a larger pan filled with 1-2 inches of hot water.
Don’t over-bake: Cheesecakes are done when they are still slightly jiggly in the center. They will firm up as they cool. Over-baking will result in a dry, crumbly cheesecake.
