1. Can I use regular graham crackers instead of cinnamon ones?

Absolutely! Just add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the crust mixture for that signature flavor.

2. What if I don’t have a springform pan?

A deep-dish pie pan can work in a pinch, but you’ll have to serve it straight from the dish since it won’t release like a springform pan.

3. How do I store leftovers?

Cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months—just thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving.

4. Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! In fact, it tastes even better the next day. Just whip up the cream cheese whipped cream fresh when you’re ready to serve.

5. Can I add toppings?

Definitely! Try chopped nuts, extra cinnamon sugar, or even some fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.

6. Can I use a premade crust?

Yes, you can! A store-bought graham cracker crust will save time. Just ensure it’s large enough to hold the filling.

7. How can I tell when the cheesecake is done?

The center should still jiggle slightly when you gently shake the pan. It will firm up as it cools.
