How to make cheesecake
Step 1: Choose a cheesecake recipe
Cheesecakes are a classic crowd-pleaser, and they're so simple to make. Start with a great recipe, such as our classicCheesecake Supreme, and follow our tips for a rich filling that's free of cracks.
Use a springform pan to make cheesecake. Removing the cheesecake from any other type of pan is nearly impossible because the crumb crust falls apart. (Some cheesecakelike desserts can be baked in other types of pans, but only when the recipe specifies this.)
Press the crust mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Be sure the crust is built up to at least 2 inches up the sides of the pan. The crust needs to be taller than the level of the filling so the finished cheesecake doesn't spill over the edges. There are two ways to do this: with your fingers or with ameasuring cup.
Step 5: Prepare the filling
Use an electric mixer, to beat the softened cream cheese, flour, and sugar (and any flavorings, if the recipe calls for them) on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. Thorough blending is especially important at this stage so the mixture is smooth before liquids such as eggs and milk are added. Once the batter thins, it's difficult to smooth out any lumps.
Step 6: Slowly add milkSlowly beat the milk into the cream cheese mixture using the low setting on your electric mixer.
