Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Keto Chocolate Cheesecake, it’s easy to overlook some details that can affect the outcome. Here are common mistakes to avoid:

• Skipping the crust preparation: Ensure you follow the steps for preparing the brownie batter crust. A well-prepared crust is crucial for texture and flavor.

• Not using room temperature ingredients: All cream cheese should be at room temperature for a smooth consistency. Cold ingredients can lead to lumps in your cheesecake.

• Overmixing the batter: Mix just until combined. Overmixing can incorporate too much air, leading to cracks during cooling.

• Ignoring chilling time: Patience is key! Allow the cheesecake sufficient time to chill in the refrigerator. Rushing this step can compromise its set texture.

• Using the wrong sweetener: Stick to recommended sweeteners like Joy Filled Eats Sweetener. Substitutes may alter taste and texture.
