Tips and tricks
- It's best to use springform pans for this cheesecake but no worries if you don't have one. Instead, you can use any dish that has the same diameter throughout its whole height. Also, use a baking sheet for the bottom of the dish to avoid sticking.
Background & History
Cheesecakes are one of the oldest and most loved desserts in the world that seem to have originated from Ancient Greece. They can be made using the oven, or no-bake style with just your refrigerator. I prefer the refrigerator style as it is hassle-free and also allows me to add any kinds of fruits or jello every time I make it.
