All about… Cheesecakes! A post about how to fix no-bake cheesecakes, and tips & tricks to help!

Welcome to my new blog series “All about…” – a series designed to talk all about a type of bake, the bests tips and tricks for the bake, and how to fix it if it goes wrong. To start – CHEESECAKES! 

When you are making a cheesecake there are many things that can go wrong – but this is true of basically most bakes in the world, not just cheesecakes. Baking is chemistry, and it relies on so much accuracy and elements that it is impossible to say a cheesecake recipe is ‘fool proof’. I genuinely will never say a recipe is, because something can change. 

Whether a recipe fails due to ingredients, temperature, time, equipment and so on – there are many contributing factors as to why a cheesecake recipe may fail – and this blog post is hopefully here to help you fix any errors and save those cheesecakes!

Some important factors to consider when making a cheesecake, is to be patient, use full fat ingredients, and don’t stop looking at your mixer. These three points are so key it is insane! But I shall explain why – just make sure to have fun whilst baking though. 

Some of the many reasons cheesecakes can fail is the mixture has split or curdled, the mixture has seized, the cheesecake mixture has become runny, the base of the cheesecake is too hard, and so on – and some of the reasons behind these are all the same but there are a few ways to fix them. 

Split/Curdled Cheesecake Mixtures

When your cheesecake mixture splits or curdles, it will often look like cottage cheese, or just a little bit lumpy. It will look like it’s quite runny, or becoming more runny – but the texture will have soft lumps inside it. (Almost like split cake mix!) 

Cheesecake can split or curdle for a few reasons – often it’s down to the temperature of ingredients. When making cheesecakes (particularly no-bake cheesecakes) the soft cream cheese MUST be full fat, but it should also be at room temperature. However, the double cream should still be cold. 

If all ingredients become too warm, it is more likely to split because the cold nature of the cream is what helps it whip better. If you are making a plain cheesecake such as my no-bake vanilla cheesecake, you can probably get away with cold ingredients, but generally the cream cheese should be room temp. 

Often a cheesecake mixture can split or curdle because of over mixing – I often get comments of ‘how long do I mix for?’ and annoyingly, I can’t say for certain. How long depends on what brand of mixer you use, whether you are using a stand mixer or hand mixer, or even just your arm and a balloon whisk. It varies, and you just need to keep an eye on the mixture. You need to check your mixture often, to make sure it won’t over mix. 

If a mixture is under whisked, it tends to be thicker, and looks like softly whipped cream – it’ll have a smooth texture, and look a bit like meringue almost – if it is under whisked, it may be slightly soft set, but this is better than over whisked. 

If you turned your mixer on, walked away for 10 minutes, you will probably come back to a over whisked and split mixture. 

How to solve a split/curdled cheesecake mixture

You can solve and fix a split cheesecake mixture by making the mixture smooth again – the best way I have found is to add the mixture to a pan on a really low heat, and stir constantly and have it on the heat as little as possible and stir until it is smooth. This process will bring the mixture back from being split.  

Once your mixture is smooth again, because it has been partially melted – it will NOT set by itself. Unfortunately, the best way to then still save the mixture is to use a setting agent such as gelatine. I know it’s not the best (you can get vegetarian versions) but it is the only way to make it set! 

It’s best to follow packet instructions as brands can vary – but generally I would add a powder sachet of gelatine to a bowl, and dissolve in 2 tbsp of boiling water. You will want to mix it until the lumps of gelatine have disappeared. You can then whisk this into the cheesecake mixture and let it set over night. 

Or, you can add the mixture to a bowl, as it will work amazingly as a mousse – the cheesecake will set to a point itself, but it will not have the same firm hold – so if you don’t want to use a setting agent, you can add the mixture to a dish and serve it as a cheesecake mousse, or freeze the mixture and make an ice cream instead. 

Seized Cheesecake Mixtures

When a cheesecake has seized – it will involve chocolate. A seized mixture usually happens when a melted chocolate is added to a cheesecake mixture, beaten together, but the chocolate solidifies really quick and looks like there are solid lumps of chocolate in the mixture. 

Sometimes this can happen and only have partially seized, and sometimes the entire cheesecake mixture will seize – you can see that it’s different to a split/curdled mixture because the seized mixture is often still thick, and the lumps are hard not soft. 

The reason this happens is down to temperature of ingredients – sometimes it’s because the chocolate was too hot going into a cold cheesecake mixture, or some of the cheesecake mixture was too cold (such as if your cream cheese wasn’t at room temp). 

Whenever I add chocolate I prefer to add the chocolate after I have beaten together the cream cheese and icing sugar – and before the double cream. This is a choice, you can add the chocolate in last – but I find it’s much less likely to seize if you do it before the cream. 

How to solve a seized mixture

You can solve and fix a seized cheesecake mixture in a similar way to a split/curdled mixture – by adding the mixture to a pan on a really low heat, and stir constantly and have it on the heat as little as possible and stir until it is smooth. This process will bring the mixture back from being seized as it re-melts the chocolate again. 

An alternative, is to add more chocolate – this is not a guaranteed method, but it’s worth a go! If you use hot melted chocolate, it can melt the rest of the chocolate as you mix it in. I personally would fold any extra chocolate in, rather than whisking however. 

If in the process of melting the chocolate your mixture because too runny, you will need to use a setting agent like mentioned above – but generally it should be fine if it doesn’t become runny as the chocolate helps set the cheesecake mixture.  

Runny Cheesecake mixtures

Sometimes, you can simply over whisk, or under whisk a mixture. I cannot explain the differences, as it can vary as to why! You need to make sure when whisking a no-bake cheesecake mixture that you keep an eye on the mixture constantly so you can see when it thickens up!

It can be super quick (I’ve made a Biscoff Cheesecake mixture thick in 30 seconds, but sometimes it has taken 5 minutes – and this is down to temperatures and water content of the cream cheese). Water content of soft cream cheese is often the downfall of a runny cheesecake mixture. If you see lots of water in the tub of your soft cheese, make sure to drain that off. 

If you find you have been whisking the cheesecake for 10+ minutes, and it is still the thickness of water, you have probably used an incorrect ingredient (Such as low fat soft cheese, or single cream) – because no cheesecake should take so long to whisk! 

You can fix a runny cheesecake mixture the same as the others – with a setting agent – or freezing to make an ice cream mixture. Sometimes the cheesecake can be too thin if a chocolate has melted the mixture for example – and this is also solved this way. 

If you aren’t sure if your cheesecake mixture is too soft, or firm enough – think of the cheesecake mixture like meringue. I find that my cheesecake mixture is perfect, when I can pick a dollop up with a spoon or spatula, and the cheesecake mixture stays firm – it doesn’t slide off, at all! It’s so thick you can spread it like buttercream. And as I have said several times – check often as you make it – if it hasn’t reached this buttercream like stage, it probably needs more whisking. 

Cheesecake Bases

Say for example you have made your cheesecake, and the base isn’t quite right – there isn’t much you can do now, other than try something next time. 

If your cheesecake base isn’t sticking together well, the chances are that the biscuits weren’t fine enough when the butter was added in. I use a food processor to make my biscuit base as you really do want the biscuits to be a fine crumb. You then need to press the base quite firmly into the tin to make sure it’s compacted down (so it sticks together!). 

If your cheesecake base is too hard – this can be down to a few things, such as brands of biscuits, too much butter, or a really cold fridge (or if you froze the cheesecake). Generally I stick to a rule of about 100-150g of butter in a biscuit base. 

If I am using a classic biscuit such as a digestive, I use 100-150g of butter – often 150g. If I use a ‘light’ version of a biscuit, or a filled biscuit, or a chocolate coated biscuit, I use less. These biscuits need less butter – so generally I will use 90-100g of butter.

Getting the perfect finish

When I prep my tin – I don’t do anything. I have made countless cheesecakes now, so I have an advantage with the amount of practice, but there are a few things you can do. 

You can line your tin with parchment paper or an acetate strip to make them easier to get out – but that is up to you! I find using a springform tin is MUCH better because it automatically makes it easier to get the cheesecake out of the tin – but the bases of these tins can be a little annoying. 

Some top tips for the base of a springform tin is to either simply turn the base upside down so the lip of the base isn’t an issue any more, line the tin with a circle of paper, or add a flat base on top. I sometimes use the base of a really cheap 8” tin and simple place it on top of the other base, and it works wonders! 

When I fill my cheesecake tins with the cheesecake mix, I press the mixture into the sides of the tin before filling in the middle, and smoothing it over. Packing the mixture into the sides makes sure there are no air gaps that can be a little ugly – and then filling the middle in and smoothing over finishes it off. 

Once the cheesecake has set and be removed from the tin, I sometimes run a small knife or palette knife around the edge to smooth it ever so slightly – and the cheesecakes are done!

Summary

So when you are making a cheesecake…

  • Use FULL FAT ingredients – this is always important! 
      • Double cream in the UK has about 45% fat content, so you simply want it as close to that as possible. 
  • Keep an eye on the mixture – no matter how you are mixing it. You want to make sure the cheesecake thickens. 
  • Have a setting agent on standby in the cupboard – I hate the idea of cheesecake mixture being wasted, but issues can happen – this prevents you having to through anything away. 
  • Have the time to let it set – you really cannot skip this bit, because it will not work! 
  • HAVE FUN. Always have fun when baking.

    I’ve tried making both your New York cheesecake and baked gingerbread cheesecake recipes (with delicious results), but both times it’s leaked through the bottom of the pan whilst in the oven. Would baking the base help, or is there something else I might be doing wrong?

    • Jane's Patisserie on March 26, 2024 at 5:04 pm

      Hey! This sounds like your tin is broken x



  2. Emma on February 20, 2024 at 9:10 pm

    Hi, I have made a few of your cheesecakes and they have all been delicious! However my daughter said she prefers a thicker biscuit base, what measurements would you recommend to make it slightly thicker? Would simply doubling up on what you suggest in original recipes be too much? Thanks x

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 25, 2024 at 5:19 pm

      I’d say try adding half on top rather than doubling, otherwise it may not fit in the tin x



  3. Kam on January 31, 2024 at 10:45 am

    Hi Jane, if making a cheesecake by hand is it best to mix the cheese and icing sugar and whip the cream separately before folding it into the cream mixture or pouring the double cream into the cheese mixture and whipping it from there?

  4. Wendy McDonald on January 2, 2024 at 11:24 am

    Hello Jane, your cheesecakes look beautiful. I’m hoping that you can solve this query for me please? I make a no-bake lemon cheesecake that is always delicious, but it always seeps a lot of what appears to be sugar syrup from the base of the cake tin. – the syrup appears after the cheesecake has set overnight. The filling uses 285 ml double cream, 255 ml sweetened condensed milk and the juice and rind of three large lemons. For the base, I use a combination of digestives and a few ginger nut biscuits. Many thanks if you can enlighten me . Cheers,
    Wendy

    • Jane's Patisserie on January 2, 2024 at 2:44 pm

      Hey! Unfortunately as this is not one of my recipes I cannot help, sorry!



  5. Emma on December 29, 2023 at 3:19 pm

    Would you use mascarpone, a cream cheese such as Philadelphia or a mix of both for your standard cheesecake mix? I’m planning to make the Funfetti cheesecake from your book of that makes a difference.
    Thanks.

    • Jane's Patisserie on December 30, 2023 at 12:27 pm

      It entirely depends on your flavour palette. If you want it sweeter use mascarpone, if you want it more tart or classic cheesecake then use a cream cheese x



  6. Celeste on December 24, 2023 at 1:10 am

    Hi Jane,

    Not a question but a comment/feedback – I recently stumbled across your No Bake Gingerbread Cheesecake recipe online that was from one of your baking books – I have never before made cheesecake in my life, but I just wanted to say how super easy it was to follow and how tasty it turned out! I fancied something different from the usual Christmas desserts and this was just perfect! Now I want to try making all the cheesecakes!

    • Jane's Patisserie on December 27, 2023 at 1:16 pm

      Ohhh yay! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! x



  7. Debbie on April 30, 2023 at 9:49 am

    Hi I’ve just made the limoncello no bake cheesecake I’ve made it loads of times but for some reason the base has gone soggy, will it go hard it I just leave it in the fridge?

  8. Chloe on April 11, 2023 at 10:37 pm

    Hi, i wanted to use the recipe for the cream cheese for a deconstructed cheesecake at an event, will i be able to store the batter in piping bags and pipe out when i get an order without it setting? x

  9. Alice on March 26, 2023 at 6:28 pm

    Hi jane! I am planning on making your Ferrero rocher cheesecake during the week for an occasion, but i was just wondering if you could help please in advance!
    -As i am using mascarpone cheese, and not cream cheese (such as Philadelphia), will this need to be room temp? If so, can i also put it in the microwave for short bursts to help come to room temp? I have read a few mixed things online such as mascarpone cheese curdling if its room temp?
    -Would the nutella also need to be room temp, or melted slightly?
    Thank you in advance! Excited to make this!

    • Jane's Patisserie on March 30, 2023 at 1:04 pm

      Hiya! When using cream cheese/mascarpone in cheesecakes, it is always best at room temp though doing this via the microwave is slightly too risky – I recommend just leaving it on the side! Also, the nutella should be fine at room temp also. Hope this helps! x



  10. Ruth Steele on March 25, 2023 at 2:21 pm

    I am really confused as what is best when making a
    NO BAKE lemon cheesecake are they better made
    with gelatine or without.

    I like jelly glazes an ideas for that.
    Thanks

    Love your recipes x

    • Jane's Patisserie on March 30, 2023 at 1:01 pm

      Hiya! This is personal preference – most no bake cheesecakes are fine without though you can add it if you wish. Hope this helps! x



  11. Emma Jane Brown on December 31, 2022 at 9:29 pm

    Hiya, I made the limoncello cheesecake and followed the recipe fully but the mixture would not thicken. I have a kitchen aid whisk so I used that. Nothing has been wasted as I have made the dessert in glasses now and it tastes great. Wondering where I went wrong ?
    Thank you for sharing your great recipes.

    • Jane's Patisserie on January 3, 2023 at 10:53 am

      Hiya! This sounds like it may have been over mixed – try whipping your cream before using or even using a setting agent. Hope this helps! x



  12. M on December 25, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    Love your cheesecakes! I struggle with a base that’s too firm to break with a fork when eating – I use the exact butter to biscuit ratio and set in the fridge. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    • Jane's Patisserie on January 3, 2023 at 10:41 am

      Hiya! Are you using digestives? x



    • M on January 4, 2023 at 8:30 pm

      Yes using digestives – followed your recipe step by step (malteser cheesecake) 🙂



    • Jane's Patisserie on January 9, 2023 at 1:34 pm

      Try perhaps using slightly less butter, or don’t press it down quite so much! Hope this helps! x



  13. Karen on December 22, 2022 at 4:05 am

    Hello Jane. When making your no bake cheesecakes, you mention using icing sugar. Is this pure icing sugar or can I use icing mixture?
    I am going to try your recipe for no bake lemon. The recipe I have been using has sweetened condensed milk and gelitine. It has always come out delicious but the last couple of times it has been a little cottage cheesy.

  14. Chloe on December 15, 2022 at 12:31 pm

    Hi Jane,
    I’ve just made the Lindt cheesecake and it seems to be more of a mousse texture and when adding the double cream to the mixture it required hardly any mixing as it was already very thick. Would this be down to the chocolate content being added, or over mixing the cream cheese and chocolate?

    • Jane's Patisserie on December 15, 2022 at 2:07 pm

      Hiya! Along as the mixture was thick enough to set, that’s great! Hope this helps x



  15. AmbalaCakes on December 6, 2022 at 9:31 am

    Very informative

    • Jan on March 17, 2023 at 3:28 pm

      Hi Jane,
      Can I use a buttermilk spread substitute such as, Clover or utterly butterly instead of butter?



    • Jane's Patisserie on March 30, 2023 at 12:43 pm

      Hiya! Yes this should be fine, enjoy! x



  16. Lainy fenwick on November 30, 2022 at 8:47 pm

    Hi I have a 9” tin and would like my cheesecake to be higher/deeper so do I need to times the recipe by one and a half or double the recipe please
    Thank you
    Lainy

  17. Agatha Quarcoo-Brunt on September 23, 2022 at 5:34 pm

    Hi Jane, I often make your cheesecakes and they are all fantastic.
    I have a pot of ricotta cheese and I was wondering if I could use it in a cheesecake. If so could you please advise me on quantity and what ingredients to swap to make way for the ricotta
    Thanks

  18. Susan on September 18, 2022 at 5:08 pm

    Hi, I gave been reading a lot about cheesecake eclairs and doughnuts. Would i use the same cheesecake mixture as I do for your recipes or should I thicken further?

  19. Annabel on September 8, 2022 at 3:36 pm

    Hi, I love all your cheesecake recipes and would love to make more! I also have a baking blog and I am getting lots of inspiration from yours! I am wondering how long a cheesecake will keep. Can you make ahead of an even and keep in the fridge? If so, for how long? Can you freeze cheesecakes? Thanks!

  20. Sal on August 18, 2022 at 8:34 am

    Hi Jane , can you recommend a 20cm springform tin please

    • Jane's Patisserie on August 18, 2022 at 4:26 pm

      Hiya! Take a look at my ‘favourite cake tins’ post! Hope this helps! x



  21. AD on August 11, 2022 at 4:03 am

    Hi Jane! With your cheesecakes, how long do you leave your cream cheese out for it to come to room temp? I made your lindt cheesecake recipe a while back and i left the cream cheese out for 1 hour- i think this was too long as it curdled when i whisked it 🙁 still tasted amazing though!
    X

    • Jane's Patisserie on August 16, 2022 at 2:12 pm

      Hiya! Unfortunately this varies due to the weather changing so much! Also, this is likely due to over mixing or the chocolate being too hot! Hope this helps! x



  22. Georgie on June 9, 2022 at 7:13 am

    Hiya i made a no bake cheesecake froze it decorated it frozen and let it defrost overnight in the fridge but this morning it was leaking water not sure why any ideas? So sad 🙁

    • Jane's Patisserie on June 10, 2022 at 12:10 pm

      Hiya! Which recipe was it? As some times fruity ones can do this! Hope this helps! x



  23. Holly on May 2, 2022 at 12:41 pm

    If we wanted to make one of your no bake cheesecake recipes but bake it instead, what’s the best way of doing this? Do the ingredients change, or is it as simple as just baking it?

    • Jane's Patisserie on May 3, 2022 at 4:09 pm

      Hiya! Sadly they are two completely different recipes, so would not work! Hope this helps! x



  24. Monica on April 21, 2022 at 1:40 pm

    Hi Jane
    i have occasionally found that the cheesecakes ‘leak’ at the base after setting in the fridge or whilst defrosting, do you know the reason for this?

    • Jane's Patisserie on April 21, 2022 at 3:01 pm

      Hiya! If this happens whilst defrosting, this may be because they were frozen. This will just be the excess liquid oozing out. Hope this helps! x



  25. Tracy Brown on April 9, 2022 at 9:04 am

    Hi Jane, would you use mascarpone instead of Philadelphia original?

    • Jane's Patisserie on April 12, 2022 at 9:04 am

      Hiya! You absolutely can! Enjoy! x



  26. Charlotte on March 27, 2022 at 3:23 pm

    Hi- What brand do you use for the cream cheese? I used soft cheese from Aldi and my galaxy cheesecake came out a tiny bit too runny

    • Jane's Patisserie on March 30, 2022 at 3:01 pm

      Hiya! I use Philadelphia personally – but any brand is fine ensuring it is full fat! Also – drain any excess liquid from the cheese when opened! Hope this helps! x



  27. Lianne Elliott on March 23, 2022 at 9:30 pm

    I want to make a raspberry cheesecake for a friend but he doesn’t like lemon or white chocolate. Which recipe of yours should I follow? Thank you 😊

    • Jane's Patisserie on March 30, 2022 at 3:14 pm

      Hiya! Try searching and having a browse on my blog – I have over 70 cheesecake recipes! Hope this helps x



  28. Diane on February 27, 2022 at 7:23 am

    Hey Jane

    Do you have any tips for doing the dripping on your cheesecakes pls

    • Jane's Patisserie on March 6, 2022 at 1:30 pm

      Follow the same idea as my mini egg drip cake drip recipe – works a charm!



  29. Una on February 25, 2022 at 6:59 pm

    Do you do baked cheesecakes

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 28, 2022 at 11:53 am

      Yes absolutely, just search baked cheesecake on my blog, or take a look at my New York Cheesecake! Enjoy! x



  30. Jennifer Green on February 22, 2022 at 1:46 pm

    Love your recipes Jane. Just like to ask if your unbaked cheesecakes are okay to freeze.

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 28, 2022 at 3:44 pm

      Yes absolutely, you can freeze them for up to 3 months – however the texture may just be slightly different after doing so! Enjoy! x



  31. Jade on February 22, 2022 at 12:32 am

    Hi I have been making some of you no bake cheesecakes and all have come out great except the rolo cheesecake. I used squirty carnation drizzle and felt like my mixture was a lot darker and for the drizzle on the top and it just ran off is it because of its consistency? Should it always be carnation tinned caramel for all your recipes with carnation caramel in? For further reference….

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 28, 2022 at 4:12 pm

      Hiya! The squeezy bottle is naturally thinner, so this may have cause the problem and/or changed the bake slightly! Hope this helps! x

    What is the most successful vegan cream cheese alternative you have used ( if any). Cashew is out due to sensitivity but are there any brands you have tested?

    Hi Jane can u freeze the cheesecakes?

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 22, 2022 at 1:41 pm

      Hiya! Yes absolutely you can freeze them for up to 3 months, sometimes it can slightly change the texture though! Hope this helps! X



  35. Holly on February 17, 2022 at 8:51 am

    Hi Jane, I’m going to make a mint chocolate cheesecake for my daughter in law’s birthday and I’d like to put a chocolate ganache on top. My worry is that it may melt the cheesecake, I’m guessing the cheesecake needs to be chilled for about 6 hours and the ganache cooled down a bit before going on top, would this work? I’ve never added a ganache topping before 😬 🙏

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 17, 2022 at 10:39 am

      Hiya! Take a look at my Twix Cheesecake recipe for help – this uses a ganache, so its absolutely possible! Hope this helps x



  36. Chris on February 16, 2022 at 10:47 pm

    Hi Jean I used ur recipe biscoff fudge,(wonderfull by the way family loved it ) what I want to know is do u put some off the biscoff biscuits in the bottom of the tin,then pour the chocolate into the tin,then when ready take out of
    Fridge & turn over.sorry so long winded,your Chris

  37. Chelsey on February 14, 2022 at 10:06 am

    Hey! I made this yesterday and it tasted amazingggg.
    However, I’ve noticed when making my last couple of cheesecakes I’m having a slight issue with my base.
    I use exactly what you put on your receipe and use digestives. However when I mix in the butter, I’m finding the mixture then goes really sloppy and wet. It comes out ok once it’s set in the fridge but I can’t work out why it’s doing it. Any ideas? X

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 17, 2022 at 10:34 am

      Hiya! I’d recommend using slightly less butter. This could be because the biscuits aren’t quite fine enough, or if you’re using a spread. Hope this helps! x



  38. Jayne on February 14, 2022 at 9:03 am

    Great post, Jane, thank you. I have made a lot of your no-bake cheesecakes and so far they have all set brilliantly. I have had caramac seize a little but now I make sure to hold off adding the chocolate until it is very cool, without hardening again. The one issue I did have was getting the base off the tin, my fridge is quite cold, so love your tip of a second removable base. I have also used baking paper over the base of my springform tin and it works well. I love reading your informative blog posts along with your fab recipes.

  39. Lydia RICE on February 14, 2022 at 8:53 am

    Hi, what would you suggest if you set it over night but when removing its not all set properly and some of it is oozing out at the sides? Thanks

    • Jane's Patisserie on February 17, 2022 at 10:31 am

      Hiya! If you have to serve it soon after – i’d recommend popping it in the freezer to help it set purely for serving. Hope this helps! x
