What happens if you over bake cheesecake?

Overbaked cheesecake will crack and the texture will be dry and gritty. Egg proteins become quite firm and tightly coiled when cooked quickly at a high temperature, but can be silky-smooth and creamy when cooked gently at a low temperature.

How should cheesecake look when done?

How to tell when cheesecake is done cooking: The cheesecake is done when center is almost set, but jiggles slightly when gently shaken. For a perfect cheesecake, use a cooking thermometer and take it out of the oven when the cheesecake reaches 150 degrees F. at the center to avoid over baking.

How do you cover a burnt cheesecake?

My favorite way to salvage the top of a cheesecake is to get rid of any burned bits, then mix a small tub of sour cream together with some sugar and vanilla, spread that across the top, and put the whole thing back in the oven for about five minutes so that it sets a little bit.

What does burnt Basque cheesecake taste like?

At first glance, burnt Basque cheesecake almost looks like a savoury raclette or a scorched Portuguese tart – but cut through the scorched, blackened top layer to reveal a gooey centre of cream cheese, sugar, eggs and cream that oozes out like slow-moving molten lava.

What is French cheesecake?

French-style cheesecake also may refer to a version made with uncooked batter, using a binder of gelatin or whipped topping instead of eggs. This version most closely resembles cheesecake found in grocery store freezers.
