FAQ:
Q: Can I make this cheesecake in advance?
A: Yes, this cheesecake can be made a day or two ahead of time. In fact, it’s often best after it has had time to chill and set overnight.
Q: Why did my cheesecake crack?
A: Cheesecake cracks can happen if it’s baked at too high of a temperature or if it’s moved too much while baking. To avoid cracking, bake the cheesecake at a low temperature, allow it to cool slowly in the oven, and let it cool completely before refrigerating.
Q: Can I use a different crust for this cheesecake?
A: Yes, you can substitute the graham cracker crust with a cookie crust made from Oreos, digestive biscuits, or even a shortbread cookie crust.
Q: How can I make the cheesecake even creamier?
A: Ensure all ingredients, especially the cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature. This helps them blend more smoothly and results in a creamier texture.
