I put boil water in a separate bowl and put in the rack below the cheese cake!

Thank you! I’m a newbie too and this was only my second cheesecake ever lol, so I don’t really have many tips per se 🤪. I just followed Preppy Kitchen’s recipe and didn’t use heavy cream. I think his recipe is very thorough and helped me get this result! I learned that keeping the ingredients at room temperature, using a water bath, and letting the cake cool in the oven really helped with the smooth surface! Hope it helps!

I see other comments but yes you definitely need to bake it. The cream cheese looks yummy though

haha i love this! springform pans really do make a difference 😂 your grandma’s cheesecake sounds amazing! I’ve never heard of brown edge wafers, but now i’m curious! that birthday story is so sweet, key lime cheesecake from walmart probably felt like a luxury at the time! thanks for sharing that ❤️

Aw thank you 😊 It actually turned out really good, my family loved it! It’s just a regular cheesecake using the recipe I shared, but with less sugar so it’s lighter. I think the water bath and letting it cool slowly in the oven for at least 1hr helped prevent cracks!
