The Mise en Place
5 of 6Your prep station before cooking begins
Crust (0/2)
Filling (0/4)
Cheesecake filling is lumpy.
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. If lumps persist, try using a hand mixer to smooth them out.
Crust is too crumbly and won't hold together.
Add a tablespoon more of melted butter to the graham cracker mixture and mix well.

BEAT
In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese (16 oz) with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
ADD

POUR
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly to the edges.
