My Basque cheesecake turned out grainy. What did I do wrong?

I made a Basque cheesecake, but the texture is all wrong – it's grainy instead of smooth. What might have caused this? Maybe I overmixed or used the wrong ingredients? Help me troubleshoot!

Oh no, grainy Basque cheesecake is such a bummer! It might be that your cream cheese wasn't smooth enough. Make sure to beat it until it's super creamy before adding other ingredients. Also, try using room temperature eggs and mix everything on low speed to avoid air bubbles. Hope your next one turns out perfect!

Grainy Basque cheesecake might be from overmixing the batter or using ingredients that are too cold. Make sure to gently fold the ingredients together and use room temperature eggs and cream cheese for a smoother texture.

Hey! If your Basque cheesecake is grainy, it might be because of overmixing or not letting the cream cheese soften enough.

Great tip! I'll definitely keep that in mind next time I make one. Room temperature ingredients make all the difference!
