Have you ever frozen the cheesecake if you have made it ahead of time?

Hi, I am planning to make this cake but can’t find bittersweet chocolate. Any suggestions about substitute?

Lidia Simic says
Hi Parry, you can use semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet chocolate. They are actually very similar in taste. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!

Recipe is soooo good. I made cupcakes, which made it easy to share with co-workers. Recipe made 28 cupcakes. Hit the ball out of the park, everyone loved them!!!
I will say it take quite a bit longer working with cupcakes. I should have used the bottom of a small glass to form the Oreo base instead of a spoon to pack the crust.
Adding the crushed peppermint to the filling really brings out the peppermint taste. Extracts only would not do it.
Thank you for such a great recipe.

I’m really excited to try and make these! Do you think that I could add gelatin into the recipe to make it a bit firmer?

Lidia Simic says
Hi Joy, Absolutely, but It will also set beautifully in the fridge. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!

Hi, I’m wanting to make this cheesecake for a Christmas party but instead of making it pie size I want to use a 9×13 pan. Do you think that would work alright and would doubling the recipe be enough or should I make more? Thanks and Merry Christmas ??

Hi Tiffany, This cheesecake can definitely be made in a 9×13 pan, I haven’t tried it since I almost always use my trusty 9-inch pan, but keep in mind the layers will be thinner (especially the crust). Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!

Do you pour the chocolate over the top while it’s still in the springform pan, let it harden and then remove from the form?

Hi Kaye, Yes you are right. Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season!
