FAQs
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance. Just keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
How can I tell when the cheesecake is done?
The cheesecake should be set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center. It will firm up as it cools.
What if I don’t have a springform pan?
You can use a regular cake pan, but it’s harder to remove the cheesecake without breaking it. If you do, line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
