Can You Substitute Guava Juice for Guava Nectar in Cheesecake Sauce?

Asked Dec 20, 2021 by Samantha V.

Is guava juice an acceptable substitute for the guava nectar for the sauce? I assume the nectar is thicker/sweeter, so if so, would you make any changes to the quantity if using juice, e.g. increase the quantity of juice by some amount and still reduce to the 1 1/2 cups?

    I made the triple creme cheesecake, but instead of having a 9 inch cheesecake, I also had enough batter for a 6 inch one! We have not tried it as yet, but they both look fantastic...just wondering if I made a mistake along the way? L

      Hi Linda - That is definitely not supposed to happen! We aren't sure why you had so much extra batter. If you used the volume measurements instead of the weights it's possible you had more ingredients than called for in the recipe. You also could have whipped the mixture more and added additional air to the mix, which would add more volume. It would be somewhat surprising if either of these resulted in enough additional batter to also fill a 6-inch springform pan, but it's possible! Best, The Milk Street Team

    Is the cheesecake supposed to be cooked in a water bath?

      Hi Roxanne - Nope, no water bath necessary. Since we are stabilizing the cheesecake with some flour we don't need a water bath. Best, The Milk Street Team
