        FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

        Can I use store-bought graham cracker crust instead of making my own?

          • Yes, you can use a store-bought crust if you’re short on time, but making your own adds a homemade touch.

          Can I omit the rum from the topping?

            • Absolutely! Feel free to leave out the rum for a non-alcoholic version of the topping.

            Can I use pecan halves instead of chopped pecans for the topping?

              • Yes, pecan halves can be used for a more decorative presentation, but chopping them ensures easier slicing.

              Can I freeze leftover cheesecake?

                • Yes, you can freeze leftover cheesecake for up to a month. Just be sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn.

                  • Certainly! Adding chocolate chips or drizzling chocolate sauce over the top can take this dessert to the next level of decadence.
