Probably it was from my oven but as it is, it’s fine for me.
Am german, your cheesecake looks amazing! Would obliterate 10/10
Thank you!
Don’t believe that other commentator, the one my grandma makes is exactly like the one you made.
Only thing that I would change in your recipe is to add more lemon juice. Then it’s tastier for me. But you have to be careful not to make it too much.
Agreed, I’ve had lots of cheesecake like this, too. They’re not supposed to be pale. I mean OP’s oven seems to bake a bit uneven. The right side is a bit on the darker side. Still okay, but it won’t get better if you bake it longer than that.
I admit I thought the exact same thing. Needs more lemon.
Id eat it
There’s a basque cheesecake, tarta de queso, that is renowned for its dark top like yours. I hope the extra brown gave it the extra flavor!
That is the next in queue to make! Already have a recipe.
