    What does Creme Brulee mean?

    Creme Brulee is also known as burned cream, burnt cream, Trinity cream, or Crema Catalana, which is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar.

    Does Cheesecake Need a Water Bath

    Cheesecake batter is basically a custard. It’s delicate, so you want to bake it slowly and evenly without browning the top. The most effective way to do this is to bake it in a water bath. A water bath method bakes the cake very gently, so it won’t darken, curdle, or crack. Using an Instant Pot creates an even baking process.

        It helps to prevent cracking, it’s added with the sugar. I updated the recipe. Thank you for letting me know.
