Frequently Asked Questions About How to Make Blackberry Cheesecake Topping

Can the Sugar be Replaced with an Artificial Sweetener?

A half cup of sugar can be replaced by 1/2 cup of sweetener or 12-13 packets. An artificial sweetener can be good for limiting sugar intake and assisting with the management of blood glucose and weight.

You can also try to replace the sugar naturally with honey, which is my favorite replacement.

What is the Cinnamon in the Recipe for?

Cinnamon is a great, natural way to add in flavor and to thicken up the recipe.

By accident, I found that by adding cinnamon to my cranberry sauce one time, it thickened in a gel like way, so I used that process to this recipe instead of cornstarch.

Obviously, I loved it more because it added in so much more flavor.

Now I continue to use cinnamon in recipes that I think can use a boost in flavor.

What Other Desserts can I use this Recipe for?

I can suggest several different recipes to add this one to:

  • First and foremost, cheesecakes, which is obvious.
  • Second, vanilla ice cream – and why not add in whipped cream as well.
  • Third, of course we need to mention tarts, little pie like pastries filled with fruit. So easy to toss some blackberry sauce right on top.
  • Fourth, cakes, yes even a delicious chocolate cake can use a little bit of blackberry topping sauce to make it spectacular.
  • Fifth and finally, a little simpler idea is plain vanilla yogurt, add your fruit and granola and you have your very own parfait.

What Length of Time can Blackberry Topping be Stored in the Fridge?

Blackberry topping should be okay in the fridge for about a month. So, if you make a batch, you know you can simply place it in a glass jar or other air tight container and place it in the fridge.

Therefore, you can slowly use it up to your liking.

Can I Freeze Blackberry Topping?

Yes, blackberry topping can be frozen. If you made an extra large batch and have plenty left over (never happens at my house), place it in a freezer zip up bag or a glass container and place it in the freezer.

Make sure to leave room in the glass container for the blackberry topping to expand in the jar.
