Notes

  • Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature. Using room temperature cream cheese blends better and creates a smoother cheesecake. If your cream cheese is too cold, it can lead to a lumpy cheesecake.
  • Red food coloring. The amount of red food coloring can be reduced or left out completely. However, this will result in less of a red color to your red velvet cheesecake.
