Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Yes! Frozen blueberries work just as well. No need to thaw them—just cook them a little longer in the saucepan until they soften.
How do I prevent my cheesecake from cracking?
Using a water bath while baking and letting the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven helps prevent cracks. Also, avoid overmixing the batter to prevent too much air from getting in.
Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cheesecake is best when chilled overnight, so making it a day ahead is perfect for the best texture and flavor.
How should I store leftovers?
Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
Can I use a different fruit for the swirl?
Yes! You can swap blueberries for raspberries, strawberries, or even blackberries for a different fruity twist.
What if I don’t have a springform pan?
A deep cake pan can work, but make sure to line it with parchment paper so you can lift the cheesecake out once it’s set.
