What can I use instead of condensed milk in cheesecake?

Because sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk are very similar, evaporated milk can serve as a substitute. You won't get the same sweet, caramelized flavor with it, but the consistency will be similar when using a cup for cup substitution.

Can I use orange juice instead of lemon juice in cheesecake?

Orange juice is a good one-to-one substitute for lemon juice in most recipes. It's less acidic, sweeter, and less tart than lemon juice. Plus, it has a different flavor profile. In recipes in which a large amount of lemon juice is needed, substituting for it with orange juice may significantly impact the flavor ( 4 ).
