FAQsCan I use whipped topping instead of heavy cream?
Absolutely! Whipped topping works just fine in place of the heavy cream.
How long does it take for the cheesecake to set?
You'll need at least 4 hours in the fridge, but leaving it overnight will give you the best results.
Can I freeze the cheesecake?
You bet! It freezes well for up to a month. Just thaw it in your fridge before you want to eat it.
How do I prevent lumps in the filling?
Just make sure your cream cheese isn't cold when you start mixing. It needs to be completely soft to avoid getting lumps.
