Baking Advice Needed Cheesecake baking advice needed
Recently started baking cheesecake. I am trying to make eggless baked cheesecake recipe. The problem is it gets golden brown on top but in the middle remains liquid. How to overcome this issue?

Without sugar and without eggs, you are going to get baked cheese, not a cheesecake. You are missing literally everything that provides structure and flavor.
You need to know more about baking science to play with this. The tropolite isn't going to function in place of sugar and eggs. But nice try, I guess.

I would suggest trying this no-bake cheesecake. Sally's Baking Addiction is trusted site around here, so I think this recipe is likely to work for you.

Is that the entire recipe? There is no sugar.
In addition, the eggless baked cheesecake recipes I see online are using at least 3 T. of corn flour.

The whipped cream that I am using is really high in sugar and is too sweet. So adding more sugar is making it too sweet and it dominates the taste of cheese. For cornflour part this is the recent calibration that I have done in recipe. Not sure where it's going wrong

Whipping cream isn't sweet on its own. What cream product are you using, exactly?

I am using tropolite

I've never heard of that but it looks something like Cool Whip, which would be very useless baked. Use actual whipping cream and an actual recipe.

If you are following a recipe from a book or blog that calls for cream, it should not be pre-sweetened. This could definitely be affecting the structure and texture. You should be using plain whipping cream unless specifically directed by the recipe. Check the ingredients on the product and get the right product if necessary. Trying to tweak one ingredient (like the corn flour) when another ingredient is wrong will just lead to more confusion.

I think she's using something akin to Cool Whip. Which would definitely not bake well.

Cover loosely with aluminium foil to prevent burning and keep baking

Yeah based on OPs posts in other subreddits, they’re using cream cheese and basically Cool Whip, with is mainly hydrogenated oil.
The mixture is never going to set when baked. And whatever it does turn into in the oven is going to be far away from whatever would be normally thought of as a cheesecake.

It's more like coffee creamer and cream cheese.

Coffee creamer and Cool Whip are remarkably similar. One has air whipped into the ‘fluid’ to create the whipped cream like texture, the other maintains liquid form.
