I made the following cheese cake....when I undid the springform pan, the sides of the cake stuck to the pan thus pulling the cake apart causing a giant crack. What did I do wrong? The directions did not say to grease or flour the springform pan.

Fudge Truffle Cheesecake

When the chocolate addict in you begs for a sweet fix, bake this fluffy chocolate cheesecake over a chocolate cookie crust. Decorate it with even more cocoa delights, such as chocolate-dipped fruit or chocolate whipped cream.

	Goodfood Aug. 20, 2012 5:34 pm You should run the edge of a thin bladed knife around the inside the springform pan before releasing the clasp.

	Aug. 20, 2012 5:35 pm Challena, I ALWAYS butter sides of my springform pan and more importantly do a "water bath." It is basically wrapping the springform pan in foil and putting it into a larger pan of boiling water for the entire cook time...cheesecake will come out beautiful and no cracks. (i think there's a video on youtube "water bath for cheesecake")

	Challena Aug. 20, 2012 5:38 pm Thanks everyone....I did do the water bath and had no cracks until I released it. NEXT time I will butter AND run a knife around the sides before releasing!

	mickdee Aug. 20, 2012 6:00 pm I made this for Christmas this year. Even if it is broken, it will still taste wonderful! I cooled it thoroughly, then put it in the frig overnight. Take it out, run a thin knife around the edge and then release the springform pan. It will have more rigidity when it is cold. I actually poured a ganache over the top in the morning and put it back for a few hours before releasing it. Hope that helps!
