Step 3: Whip the Cream Separately
In a separate chilled bowl, pour in the cold heavy cream. Whip it until stiff peaks form. This means the cream holds its shape when you lift the whisk, but still looks smooth—not grainy.
This whipped cream is what gives the cheesecake its airy, mousse-like texture.
Step 4: Fold for a Silky Filling
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in stages. Use a spatula and slow, sweeping motions. Do not stir or beat—folding keeps the filling light and prevents it from deflating.
Continue folding until the mixture is uniform, smooth, and cloud-like.
Step 5: Assemble the Cheesecake
Remove the crust from the refrigerator. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles and level the surface.
Step 6: Chill Until Set
Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best. This chilling time allows the cheesecake to firm up and develop its signature creamy structure.
Avoid freezing unless you plan to store it longer—refrigeration gives the best texture.
