Candy Cane Holiday Cheesecake Pink For Valentine Recipe


Hi there! Thanks for trying this recipe out! One way to a lighter, fluffier cheesecake is to cream the sugar and cream cheese fully before moving on to the next additions. And we know it's more work, but the water bath method really helps to keep the cake's airy structures while it cooks. We're hoping you'll try it out again and give the initial creaming process a little more time. Cheers to cheesecake!
