It was overbaked

myhappybakes.com

It’s important to remove your cheesecake from the oven when the edges are set but the center still wobbles a little bit.

1.

The batter was overmixed

Be sure to use room temperature ingredients, mix the batter on low speed and stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are combined.

2.

Baked at too high of a temperature

myhappybakes.com

Cheesecakes need to bake low and slow. The ideal temperature to bake cheesecake is 325°F.

3.

Not baked in a water bath

Using a water bath ensures that the cheesecake will bake evenly.
