Absolutely! Frozen berries work well, but make sure to thaw and drain them before cooking. This prevents excess moisture in your cheesecake.
How do I know when the cheesecake is done baking?
The cheesecake should be set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean, indicating it’s ready.
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Yes! In fact, making it a day in advance allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to five days, but I doubt it will last that long!
Can I add other flavors to the cheesecake?
Definitely! Feel free to mix in flavors like almond or lemon extract to the cream cheese mixture for a unique twist. The possibilities are endless!
