Notes

Pro Tips for Perfect Mini Cheesecakes

  • Freeze for Later: These freeze beautifully! Just hold off on the cherry topping until you’re ready to serve.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overbeating the batter can incorporate too much air, causing the cheesecakes to rise and deflate as they cool.
  • Check Doneness: Look for puffed-up tops and edges that are set. A slight jiggle in the center is fine—they’ll firm up as they cool.
