How to store it

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cheesecake can be kept for up to a week.

Helpful tips

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier blending and a smoother texture.
• If the crust feels too crumbly, add a bit more melted butter to help it hold together.

Optional variations

For an even more decadent treat, consider folding in some sugar-free chocolate chips into the filling before spreading it over the crust. You can also add a layer of fresh berries on top for a fruity twist.
