Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I make this cheesecake without a springform pan?
A: A springform pan is ideal for making cheesecake because it allows you to remove the sides and serve the cheesecake cleanly. However, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan if needed—just be sure to line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Q: Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
A: Yes! Simply substitute gluten-free graham crackers for the crust to make this recipe gluten-free.
Q: Do I need to use a water bath for this cheesecake?
A: This cheesecake recipe doesn’t require a water bath. However, if you want to ensure the creamiest texture and minimize cracking, you can bake it in a water bath by placing the springform pan inside a larger baking dish filled with about 1 inch of hot water.
Q: Can I use other fruits for the topping?
A: Absolutely! This cheesecake is delicious with other fruit toppings like strawberries, raspberries, or even a mixed berry compote.
