Need fluffy fluffy cheesecake advice!  |
|
 I love making cheesecake from scratch, but it seems like more often than not, my cakes come out somewhat flat and thin. I would prefer my cheesecakes to be 3 or 4 inches thick. I'm lucky if they come out to be 1 inch! Is there a secret to making a thick fluffy cheesecake?
I know all the basic tricks to making cheesecake. I have a spring form pan, I bake it in the oven with about an inch of water, and I leave it in the oven with the door ajar for a little while so that it doesn’t cool too quickly.
Am I missing anything? Is it just a matter of adding more cream cheese? I usually use 2 or 3 packages depending on the recipe.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

1.  stacysmomstl (159) | 3 months ago |  I wish I were at home and not at work because I do have a recipe somewhere that I think would answer your question. I can't think of it right off hand. And of course once I get home, I probably couldn't find it right away.
However I do know to get the fluffier cakes there has to be more batter. So I'm thinking 2 or 3 8oz bricks of cream cheese isn't enough. Actually I think you need something like 4.
Hopefully I can find the recipe later and get back to you on that.

 II2aTee (794) | 3 months ago | That would be great if you could get back to me! I had a feeling its just a question of adding more batter because I seem to have the baking tenique down just fine. The texture of my cakes are usually spot on.. they are just so flat.
My only concern with adding more batter is adding too much. I dont want it to become a cheesecake soup! | |

| 3. BStuff (286) | 3 months ago |  I make cheese cake all the time my favorite is the ones with brownie on the bottom. I don;t have my recepies with me but I do have a tip or two. A few things that will help is depending on the color of your spring pan change the temperature your using. If the pan is light the temperature should be fine but if its dark bring it down a good 15 degrees or so because the pan will get hot too fast drying it out. Another big thing I do that helps A LOT. is to put a metal bowl filled with water on the bottom rack of my over before I pre heat the over that way while its heating the water comes out helping the cheesecake stay nice a fluffy. Also if you over look, opening the oven a lot during the baking process that can make it a big spongie. Good luck!
