Miniature Springform Pans

A springform pan is a piece of equipment that operates with a spring released latch to secure or remove the sides of the pan from the base when in use. It is preferred in recipes when inverting items for removal is not possible or not desired in order to maintain a beautiful finish over surfaces. Cheesecakes are the most popular recipes that utilize springform pans. When choosing the pans, it’s important to invest in those of quality. A springform pan crafted from heavy duty materials with a non-stick surface is ideal & when the sides are latched in place, it should be a taut fit. Miniature spring form pans offer the added bonus of serving desserts in more contemporary manner. Plan to have several available for use when entertaining & in the coming weeks, I’ll show you a variety of ways they may be utilized.

How To Line Springform Pans

Raspberry-Lemon Charlotte Russe is an impressive dessert to serve guests for a number of spring gatherings ranging from Easter & Mother’s Day to bridal showers & teas. It may be prepared up to a day in advance, then unmolded & garnished several hours before serving. Although this classic French specialty has its very own traditional piece of equipment designed for it, miniature springform pans may be used as a more accessible, modern way to make them. This ensures that the dessert doesn’t need to be layered upside-down then inverted for serving. 

The Technique

Lining springform pans is a good way to ensure that crusts & other ingredients release from the bottom or the pan sides. When preparing cheesecakes, just the bottom may be covered for simple transfer to serving plates however when something such as a Charlotte Russe is in order, the sides will need to be lined with a parchment paper cuff due to the sticky nature of the Sponge Lady Fingers. The bottom of springform pans may be lined with parchment paper by securing it between the sides. Cuffs may be created with parchment paper & placed around the interior of each pan to cover the sides.
