Tips for Perfect Cheesecake

Softened Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.

Substitutions and Variations

Crust Options: Use crushed digestive biscuits, Oreos, or vanilla wafers for a twist.
Berry Swap: Substitute strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or a mix of your favorite berries.
Low-Sugar Option: Use a sugar substitute in the crust and filling to reduce sweetness.

Make It Healthier

Use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
