My Best Tips for Showstopping Shortcake Cheesecake
- Always use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a silky-smooth filling.
- For extra structure, don’t overmix once the eggs are added.
- Chill the assembled cheesecake overnight for the cleanest slices and flavors that truly mingle.
- If you want more crunch, make a double batch of the crumble for extra topping.
- This cake travels well for potlucks and holds up beautifully on dessert tables.
