I did put foil around the springform pan (OUTSIDE, though). And the mixture still leaked out. Maybe it should have been inside??? Ah basta, I will try baking muna without water bath. Manangs last blog post..Honey Garlic Pork Roast

Hi Manang! That time that you made cheesecake, did you cover the bottom of your springform pan with aluminum foil? I think that’s the trick that addresses the leaking. :) It’s funny how we want to do the exact opposite the next time we make cheesecake. I have to get this right next time! From what I’ve read, a water bath is supposed to prevent the cheesecake from getting burnt. I really hope it works!

Tita Myra, as a little girl, Chocolate Mousse was my favorite. And then I tasted Blueberry Cheesecake and had a change of heart. I’m crazy about chocolate though and that’s not about to change any time soon. :D

From the looks of it, I know it tastes really good. I’m partial to cheesecake. I can’t resist them. Have a nice weekend too! Happy baking:-)

I tried to make a cheesecake before that I used a water bath, but the springform pan was leaking...I was discouraged since then, because I ended up with just half. I never made one again... Maybe I should try without the water bath! Maybe I will like it better! Manangs last blog post..Food Processor

Hi Tita Myra! You’re so kind! Haha! Hubby did like the cheesecake, in spite of how it looked. Either the cheesecake was really good or dear husband didn’t want to offend me. Haha! Pogi points for him! :) Have a great weekend!

Ah, my mouth waters at the sight of the cake. A New Yorker once taught us how to make a New York Cheesecake. The rustic look is fine as long as it tastes good and I think it does!

Hi Mikky! That’s so kind of you. Ha ha! I like the rustic look, too…if only it were supposed to look like that. :) Thanks for dropping by!

Hi Andy! Thanks for the tip and the words of encouragement. I like sharing my kitchen experiences, and that includes failures. Hee hee. I used to wonder why some recipes suggest a water bath and some don’t. I only understood when I chanced upon a site earlier today which had tips on making cheesecake. :) I’m excited to try this again. Hopefully, the next one will look more appetizing. :) Thanks for dropping by! Cheers!
