Questions I often get asked about this recipe:
Can I use frozen blueberries?
While fresh blueberries are preferred for their flavor, frozen blueberries can be used as a substitute. However, you may need to add a bit of extra cornstarch to thicken the blueberry layer as frozen berries release more water.
How long can I store the cheesecake?
This cheesecake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to 2 months.
Can I make this cheesecake gluten-free?
The recipe as provided is already gluten-free. Just ensure that the oat flour used is certified gluten-free if needed.
Can I substitute the cashews?
While cashews provide the best creaminess, you can experiment with other nuts like almonds or macadamia nuts. However, the texture might be slightly different.
What can I use as a vegan butter substitute?
Coconut oil or plant-based margarine can be used as a substitute for vegan butter in the crumble topping.
