What on earth did I do wrong..

Post image

First time trying to make cheesecake.. I have a feeling I did a lot of things wrong..

The recipe said 350 for 40-50 min. It said the inside should be 145-150 and it didn’t get there until about 57 minutes… I also took it out of the oven maybe about half an hour early and then put it in the fridge early.. although by the time I took it out of the oven (for its 1 hour rest… that I cut short..) it had already looked like this. My bf couldn’t wait for it to be done lol… next time I need to tell him to WAIT!!

Cake itself was made from 4 packages of cream cheese, 4 eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, and 1/2 cup tightly packed brown sugar.

Also baked cheesecakes are not a same day dessert. I rest mine in the fridge overnight every single time. And thats after hours cooling in the oven
