FAQ ❓

How can you get the perfect texture for the apricot cheesecake?

For a smooth texture, it is essential to mix in the fromage blanc gradually and make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in water before adding it.
Yes, you can use other fruit such as peaches, pears or raspberries, but adjust the cooking time if necessary.
Agave syrup has a lower glycemic index than sugar, making it more suitable for people who are monitoring their sugar intake. You can replace it with honey if you like.
You can replace it with mascarpone for a milder, less tangy flavor.
The cheesecake can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it is best enjoyed fresh to fully appreciate its texture and flavors.
Brush the apricots with a little apricot jam or syrup.
