Question 1

1. Can I use a different type of crust?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can substitute the graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits, Oreos, or even crushed shortbread cookies for a different flavor.

Question 2

2. Can I make this cheesecake without heavy cream?

Accepted Answer

You can, but the texture will be slightly different. Heavy cream adds lightness and a fluffy texture. If you skip it, the cheesecake will be denser, more like a traditional baked cheesecake.

Question 3

3. How do I make the cheesecake filling firmer?

Accepted Answer

If you prefer a firmer filling, you can add 1 teaspoon of gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons of warm water to the cream cheese mixture. Mix it in before folding in the whipped cream.

Question 4

4. How long does the cheesecake last in the fridge?

Accepted Answer

It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Make sure it’s covered to keep it fresh.

Question 5

5. Can I freeze a no-bake cheesecake?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can freeze it! Wrap the cheesecake (without toppings) tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. It will last in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving.
