  • If using jars wash and dry jars and lids.
  • Dry jars and lids completely before filling.
  • If using a springform pan, grease pan well, and line bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  • You will also need a large cookie sheet and a deep roasting pan to bake the cheesecake in a water bath.

  • There are two important ingredients when it comes to cheesecake: cream cheese and eggs. Eggs play a very important role in baking. They help hold all the other ingredients together.
