Notes
Feel free to customize the filling by adding chocolate, fruit, or citrus zest. This filling can be used in various desserts, including parfaits or as a dip for fruits. If using a store-bought crust, check if it's gluten-free if needed. For best results, allow the dessert to set overnight for a firmer texture. You can freeze leftover cheesecake; just wrap it tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving.
