- Sweeteners – You can use stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, or coconut sugar (not sugar-free). Adjust to taste.
- Blending – For the smoothest texture, blend the batter well and strain through a sieve before baking.
- Baking Time – Avoid overbaking; the center should be slightly jiggly when removed from the oven.
- Chilling – Let the cheesecake cool completely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
