How to Achieve a Smooth & Silky Burnt Cheesecake (Just Like Ours!)
If you’ve ever sunk your fork into a perfectly creamy burnt cheesecake, you know just how irresistible it is—the caramelized top, the luscious custard-like center, and that melt-in-your-mouth texture. But achieving that silky perfection at home? That’s where things can get tricky.
At Evegalbakes, we’ve mastered the art of burnt cheesecake, and today, we’re sharing some pro tips to help you bake one that’s just as dreamy!
1. Start with Quality Ingredients
The magic of a burnt cheesecake lies in its simplicity. With just cream cheese, eggs, sugar, heavy cream, and a touch of flour (or corn starch), every ingredient matters. Use full-fat cream cheese for that ultra-rich texture, and opt for fresh eggs to give your batter structure.
2. Mix Smart, Not Hard
Overmixing your batter can incorporate too much air, leading to cracks and an uneven texture. Instead, mix at low speed until everything is just combined. A smooth batter equals a smooth cheesecake!
3. The Right Bake: High Heat, No Water Bath
Unlike traditional cheesecakes, burnt cheesecakes thrive under high heat. The goal is to caramelize the top while keeping the center creamy. Bake at a high temperature (around 200°C/400°F) for a beautifully burnt exterior, and resist the urge to use a water bath—this cake is meant to be rustic!
4. Let It Cool (Patience is Key!)
Right out of the oven, your cheesecake will look wobbly in the center. That’s exactly what you want! Let it cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4-6 hours (overnight is even better). This resting period helps the flavours deepen and the texture become irresistibly silky.
5. Slice Like a Pro
For those clean, picture-perfect slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts. Bonus tip: A warm knife (just dip it in hot water and dry it) glides through effortlessly!
