You will need to know about this dessert: FAQS Answered!
Our cranberry gingerbread cheesecake is the perfect holiday dessert. It’s easy to make, undeniably delicious, and can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike. But we know that with any new recipe, there are bound to be a few questions. So, we’ve compiled a list of FAQs to help you make the perfect Cranberry-Gingerbread Cheesecake.
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Yes! This cranberry gingerbread cheesecake actually tastes better when made a day in advance. The flavors have time to meld together and the texture becomes more velvety. Simply store your cheesecake in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
I don’t have fresh cranberries, can I use frozen?
Absolutely! If you can’t find fresh cranberries, frozen will work just as well. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
My cheesecake cracked while baking, what happened?
There are a few reasons why cheesecakes crack while baking. One possibility is that you opened the oven door too often while it was baking which caused fluctuating temperatures and cracking. Another possibility is that you overbaked your cheesecake. Be sure to follow the recipe instructions carefully and check for doneness by lightly shaking the pan—if the center jiggles, it needs more time in the oven.
We hope these FAQs have helped you feel confident about making our Cranberry-Gingerbread Cheesecake! Remember, this recipe can easily be made vegan with a few simple substitutions.
