Sand cheesecake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, ricotta can be used as a substitute for cottage cheese, but keep in mind the texture will be slightly creamier. You may need to drain excess liquid from ricotta to avoid a soggy crust.
Store the cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For best freshness, cover it with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
Yes, replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/2 tsp to mimic the texture of traditional shortcrust pastry.
Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C) before adding the filling. This creates a barrier and helps maintain a crisp texture.
Yes, wrap the cooled cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
Reduce the sugar in both the crust and filling by half, or use a natural sweetener like erythritol. The texture may be slightly less creamy.
Serve with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of whipped cream. A dusting of powdered sugar also adds a nice touch.
Absolutely! Orange or lime zest can be used for a different citrus twist. Adjust the amount to taste, as some zests are stronger than others.
