Can You Use Ganache on a Cheesecake?

Ganache can be used as a topping for cheesecake, but due to the difference in firmness between the two components, the ganache might form lumps when sliced. Ganache is usually a sauce-like consistency and is more fluid, while cheesecake is typically a solid confection. For a smoother experience, cheesecake is often topped with a denser, more firm component such as a fruit preserves or a hardened chocolate layer.
