Homemade Philadelphia Cheesecake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cheese if I can't find Philadelphia cream cheese?

While Philadelphia cream cheese is ideal for its texture and flavor, you can substitute it with another full-fat cream cheese. Just be sure it's a similar consistency for the best results.

How long does homemade Philadelphia cheesecake last in the refrigerator?

Your homemade cheesecake will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Be sure to store it covered to prevent it from drying out.

Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Yes, you can! Wrap the cooled cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

What can I use instead of cookies for the base?

You can use graham crackers, digestive biscuits, or even a gluten-free cookie blend. Adjust the amount of melted butter accordingly to bind the crumbs.

Can I reduce the sugar content in this recipe?

You can reduce the sugar slightly, but keep in mind that sugar contributes to the cheesecake's structure and flavor. Start by reducing it by 1/4 and see if you like the result.

What's the best way to cut a cheesecake neatly?

Dip a long, thin knife in hot water and wipe it clean between each slice. This will help you achieve clean, professional-looking cuts.

Can I add any flavorings to the cheesecake filling?

Yes, definitely! Feel free to add lemon zest, almond extract, or a swirl of fruit puree to the filling for extra flavor.

What if my cheesecake cracks while baking?

Cracks can happen! The water bath helps minimize them, but if it still cracks, don't worry. You can cover it with whipped cream or a fruit topping to hide any imperfections.
