Can I use low-fat cream cheese in this recipe?

Yes, you can use low-fat cream cheese, but the texture will be slightly less rich. Full-fat cream cheese delivers the creamiest result for this frozen cheesecake.

How long can I store this cheesecake ice cream in the freezer?

You can freeze it for up to 2 weeks, tightly wrapped. After that, the texture may begin to change, and ice crystals may form.

Can I make this dessert without a springform pan?

Absolutely. You can use a deep pie dish or a parchment-lined baking pan. Just note that it may be harder to remove clean slices without the springform release.

What’s the best way to melt chocolate for this recipe?

Melt chocolate chips in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring in between. Or melt slowly over a double boiler. Make sure it’s fully smooth before stirring into the filling.
