Notes
Tip: If you don’t have a springform pan, line a standard cake pan with parchment or foil that hangs over the edges so you can lift out the cheesecake easily.
Optional: Add orange zest to the whipped cream for extra citrus flavor.
Storage: Keep frozen and store leftovers in the freezer for up to 2 months.
