Is it normal for the cheesecake to have browned on top?
A little browning on top is normal when you bake a cheesecake. However if you want more information how to achieve baking a cheesecake without browning, you might check this out. https://www.leaf.tv/articles/how-make-cheesecake-without-browning-the-top/
This looks awesome and I’m going to be trying it this weekend. I have a few questions.
1. Is it good to make it a day in advance? Prepare Friday, Serve Saturday
2. I should put the ganache on while it’s still in the spring form pan? will it still have the awesome drip effect on the sides like in the pictures or is it okay to take the spring form pan off in advance?
Thanks!
Hi Kristen!
Yes, you can make it in advance. If you want the drip effect, definitely take it out of the spring-form pan. Enjoy!! It’s yummy!!
