Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Keto Chocolate Cheesecake can be a delight, but some common mistakes may ruin your experience. Here’s what to watch out for:

• Overmixing the batter: Overmixing can introduce too much air into your cheesecake, causing cracks. Mix just until combined for a smooth texture.
• Not measuring ingredients accurately: Baking is precise, so use measuring cups and spoons to ensure you get the right amounts for each ingredient.
• Forgetting the gel agent: If you skip or substitute the gelling agent incorrectly, your cheesecake may not set properly. Ensure you follow the instructions carefully for best results.
