  1. Do we have to keep the cake in the freezer or normal refrigerator? Also can u tell how long will the cheesecake last once taken out of the refrigerator without melting.

  5. Heavenly! I am a chocoholic with heart failure and type 2 diabetes. The Type 2 is controlled with diet only. My carbs are limited to about 30 per day. Cheesecake is much easier to convert than cookies or cake! For the crust, I used 1 3/4 cups of walnuts, pulsed in food processor until large crumbs, added 1/4 cup fine almond flour, 1 Tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol and 1/4 cup melted butter. I substituted powdered monkfruit/erythritol and sugar-free Lily’s chocolate chips in the cheesecake bat

  6. The cake was delicious. I made it for my son’s birthday. The only thing that the family commented and I would change is the topping. Everyone said it was too sweet because of the milk chocolate. So I will replace it with semisweet chocolate.
    Thanks.

    What should I do if I have a 9inch pan?

    December 30, 2020
    1. Since you don’t bake this cake, a 9-inch pan will make no difference except that the cake will be very slightly thinner.
