Cheesecake with Cherry Confit and Rocher Chocolate Glaze

Can I use other fruits for the confit?
Absolutely! You can substitute cherries with raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries. Just adjust the sugar and cooking time according to the sweetness and texture of the fruit.
Can I make the cheesecake without gelatin?
Yes, if you prefer a no-gelatin cheesecake, you can make a no-bake version by whipping heavy cream and folding it into the cream cheese mixture. However, the texture will be softer and less structured than a gelatin-set cheesecake.
What type of chocolate should I use for the glaze?
Use good-quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate for the glaze. Milk chocolate can also work if you prefer a sweeter glaze, but the final texture may be slightly softer.
Can I make this cheesecake in advance?
Yes, you can make the cheesecake a day or two in advance. Simply store it in the refrigerator until ready to glaze and serve.
How can I ensure my cheesecake has no cracks?
To avoid cracks in the cheesecake, be careful not to overbeat the cream cheese mixture, as this can incorporate too much air. Additionally, let the cheesecake cool gradually by leaving it in the oven (with the door slightly ajar) for about 30 minutes after baking.
