FAQ

Q: Can I use whipped cream instead of evaporated milk?
Yes, but evaporated milk gives the dessert its classic light and airy texture.

Q: Why is my cheesecake runny?
The Jell-O must be partially set before mixing, and the evaporated milk needs to be well chilled before whipping.

Q: Can I make it ahead of time?
Absolutely! This dessert is perfect for making the day before serving.
