Notes
Storage
This cheesecake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Cream
The cream will eventually melt after a couple hours on this cheesecake so decorate the top no more than two hours before serving to be on the safe side.
Gelatine
I know a lot of you will be wondering if you can substitute the gelatine for agar agar. The answer is, I’m not sure. I never tested the recipe with agar agar, although I am sure there are loads of recourses online that can be found with a simple google search that will show you how to replace gelatine. Just keep in mind the texture will be different.
