With the season of celebration and joy knocking at our doors we can hardly wait to get all started with the preps! The turkey needs to be cooked and the tables need to be adorned with marvelous treats! From pumpkin pies to cheesecake! Wait! Did anyone mention the cheesecake? Yup, that is exactly what we are going to make today!

However, if you are apprehensive about how to go about the task then we are working on cheesecakes at home. Let's get started then?

How to make the crust?

When you are working on a cheesecake, making the crust is something that you need to bring into account! Without a perfect crust, your cheesecake is not good at all! The cookies, crackers, and nuts are ground well. With some nuts, the crust will taste even better! Sometimes herbs and citrus peels are added to the crust as well. You also need to opt for full-fat ingredients as well. Thick cream cheese and sour cream is needed for making cheesecake! Unless, you are on a diet and following a particular meal, low-fat cheese can also be used.

Why should all the ingredients be present at room temperature? 

Often while making cheesecake we are asked to begin with ingredients being used at room temperature! There is a very vital significance behind all the ingredients to be present at so! Do you know why? For example, you are whipping the butter but instead of being melted and smooth, the cold chunk of butter is presented to you! Of course, you will find it hard to blend! Now think about eggs in cold temperatures! They are as good as not being added at all!

The utility of eggs is to make your dessert fluffy and flaky. However, if it is not present at room temperature then the eggs will simply fail to accomplish their task.  In case you forgot to bring it out on time, there is still a quick-fix solution to that! You need to dip these cold eggs in a bowl of lukewarm water for about a minute or two and that will help to make sure that the eggs come to room temperature. 

Why do you need a hand mixer or a stand mixer?

No matter what expert you are in this job, your hands are simply not enough to acquire a smooth consistency for the cream! Cheesecakes require a texture that is extremely smooth and one can not acquire that with the aid of simply your fingers. To reduce your effort and hassle, and also to blend well, you need a hand mixer or a stand mixer to do the job.

When should the eggs be added?

The cream cheese and sugar can be whipped for as long as you want! The more you whip, the smoother it becomes. However, you need to be careful about the time when you add the eggs to the batter. You should always do this at the end so that the eggs are just mixed into the batter and then allowed to be left undisturbed after that. The air can often expand and contract during the process and lead to cracks in the crust.

There is also another thing that you should note while baking a cheesecake! You should always grease the pan, no matter what! You do not want cracks or the batter sticking to the pan bottom! Hence greasing is absolutely essential.

Here are some wonderful cheesecake recipes for you to relish during Thanksgiving.
