FAQs
Can I Make This Cheesecake Ahead of Time?
Yes! This no-bake cheesecake is a perfect make-ahead dessert. You can prepare it up to 2 days in advance. Just keep it covered and stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
Can I Use Store-Bought Whipped Topping Instead of Whipping Cream?
Absolutely. If you’re short on time, you can replace the homemade whipped cream with 1 ½ cups of store-bought whipped topping (like Cool Whip) for a quicker preparation.
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cheesecake will stay fresh for up to 5 days. If you want to freeze it, do so before adding the cherry topping. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and top with cherries before serving.
Can I Use a Different Size Pan?
If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a pie dish or even an 8×8 square pan. Keep in mind that the thickness of the cheesecake may vary depending on the pan size, so the chilling time might need to be adjusted.
