Observations

What makes condensed milk cheesecake different from traditional cheesecake?

Condensed milk cheesecake is creamier and sweeter due to the use of condensed milk, which adds a rich flavor and smooth texture compared to traditional cheesecakes that often use sugar and heavy cream.

Can I use other fruits for the compote besides berries?

Absolutely! You can experiment with other fruits like peaches, apples, or even tropical fruits like mangoes to create a unique compote that suits your taste.

How can I ensure my cheesecake doesn't crack while baking?

To prevent cracking, avoid overmixing the batter, bake at a lower temperature, and consider using a water bath during baking to maintain moisture.

Is it necessary to chill the cheesecake before serving?

Yes, chilling the cheesecake allows it to set properly, enhancing its texture and flavor, making it more enjoyable to eat.

Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?

Definitely! This cheesecake can be made a day in advance, and it often tastes even better after sitting in the fridge overnight, allowing the flavors to meld together.
