FAQ
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Yes! This cheesecake can be made the day before. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator and add the crème brûlée topping right before serving.

How can I prevent cracks in the cheesecake?
To prevent cracks, make sure to bake the cheesecake at a low temperature and avoid overmixing the batter. Also, leaving it in the oven after turning off the heat can help it set slowly.

Can I use a regular cheesecake pan instead of a springform pan?
You can use a regular cheesecake pan, but a springform pan is preferred for easy removal. If you don’t have one, line the pan with parchment paper to help lift the cheesecake out once it’s chilled.
