Tips

  • If cream cheese is cold, dunk it in warm water to soften it faster.
  • Pack the crust in the pan nicely to prevent it from breaking.
  • When mixing the cream cheese filling, scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
  • Do not incorporate too much air into the cream cheese mixture when adding sour cream and heavy cream.
  • Taste the mixture before adding eggs as it will no longer be edible raw.
