What Causes My Cheesecake to Crumble?
If your cheesecake keeps falling apart, the reason could be overmixing of the batter. When making your filling, overmixing can result in too much air being incorporated into the batter. When the cheesecake is baked, the air bubbles will burst, and your cheesecake will fall and crack.
How to Serve the Nutella Cheesecake?
Go for a frozen cheesecake. After frozen for a few hours, the cheesecake is even easier to slice. Keep the cake in the freezer and cut the slices 15 minutes before serving. They will be flawless. However, keeping the cake at room temperature is also fine.
Top Tips:
Baking Temperature: We recommend baking the Nutella cheesecake at 300°F rather than 350°F. This lower temperature keeps the Nutella’s chocolate from drying out.
Water Bath or No Water Bath: This recipe calls for awater bath. However, if you don’t want to use a water bath, place a pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven to keep the heat moist. Your cheesecake will suffer as a result of the dry oven heat.
More Nutella, Less Sugar:Cut the sugar down to ¾ cup because the recipe calls for so much Nutella. You can even reduce sugar to ½ cup and still have a delicious cheesecake.
Glazing:The Nutella glaze is optional but strongly advised. After the cheesecake has been baked, a simple mixture of Nutella and heavy cream is what you need to glaze the cheesecake.
