NEED HELP QUICK...CHEESECAKE...

I am in the preocess of making mini cheesecakes. I followed the directions exactly. While mixing the ingredients together the creamcheese is lumpy..how can I get the chunks out? Will it bake ok with the chunks? I let the creamcheese get to room temp like it said..ahhh I am so lost..I have the oven on ready to go..

Re: NEED HELP QUICK...CHEESECAKE...

Do you have an immersion blender or a large mixer? Put the mix into that. I find that the better mixed the batter the better cheesecake tastes. If necessary, take a strainer, strain out the large pieces and then mash those by hand.

I'm not sure what you can do about it now, but when I make cheesecake I let the eggs and sour cream come to room temperature too. I haven't had a problem since I started doing that.

I always use a hand mixer or stand mixer to get all the lumps out.
