Notes
Cream cheese needs to be softened at room temperature. Take it out of the fridge at least 1 hour before using. If cream cheese hasn’t softened enough, it will be harder to beat and lumps will remain. Try to follow this advice and your cheesecake will have a smooth texture.
Mix Blueberry Jell-O with hot water until it melts completely, then cool it to warm before adding it to cheesecake filling. Let it set at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Also, make sure it’s not too cooled because it will turn into jelly and then it will be difficult to beat it, lumps of jelly will remain and the cheesecake will lose its smooth texture. So the dissolved Jell-O should be warm and runny before you add it to the cheesecake filling.
