      Hi Katie,
      In this recipe you need to use gelatin, otherwise the cake wont be stable enough.

      I don’t think this it will work. You need something that will help the cake stay stable.

  7. Just made this cheesecake for Easter. The only issue I had was the fact that it was not sweet enough. Coconut cream has no sugar and I wished that I had taken the time to taste the mixture before adding it to the crust because I definitely would have added some sugar. Easy to make but definitely on the expensive side.
