- Tahitian vanilla extract — Use high-quality Tahitian vanilla extract for its unique floral aroma.
- Grand Marnier liqueur — If desired, you can substitute Grand Marnier with another orange liqueur or omit it for a non-alcoholic version.
- Edible gold leaf — Handle the delicate gold leaf with clean, dry hands to prevent tearing.

- For a velvety texture, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- To easily remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, run a knife around the edges before releasing the sides.
- Serve the cheesecake chilled for the best flavor and texture.
- Experiment with different garnishes such as fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
