How to Fix a Cracked Cheesecake

This Instructable will show you how to fix a crack in your cheesecake using hot water and an offset spatula.

Start with a cold cheesecake.

Push the crack together using your fingers. If it's a deep crack, push a little harder and from further away from the crack.  If the cake sticks to your fingers, wet them with warm water.

Dip a small offset spatula into hot water.  Use the spatula to smooth over the top of the cheesecake as seen on the left side of the cake in this picture.

Smooth over either the cracks or the whole cake as needed.  The top will be slightly lighter where the inside of the cake was pulled over the top.  A topping will cover this.
