Notes
- Select dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream cheese and vegan chocolate chips to make this recipe suitable for plant-based diets.

- Reduce sugar content by substituting with monk fruit sweetener or stevia for a lower-calorie dessert without compromising delicious flavor profile.
- Prevent gelatin clumping by whisking it slowly into room temperature liquid and allowing proper bloom time to ensure smooth, stable cheesecake structure.
