FAQ
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! Cheesecake actually tastes better after sitting in the fridge overnight.
Q: Can I skip the brandy?
A: Yes. The brandy adds a subtle depth of flavor but is optional.
Q: How do I prevent cracks on top of the cheesecake?
A: Avoid overmixing the batter and bake at a low temperature. Cooling gradually in the oven with the door slightly open helps, too.
