FAQs

Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Yes! This cheesecake is perfect for making a day in advance. Just remember to keep it refrigerated until you’re ready to serve.

What if I don’t have a springform pan?
You can use a regular cake pan, but it may be more difficult to remove the cheesecake. Just make sure to line the pan with parchment paper for easier removal.

How do I know when the cheesecake is done?
The cheesecake should be set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center. It will firm up as it cools in the fridge.
