Notes

  • Full-fat cream cheese provides the richest texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to help prevent cracks.
  • Mini cheesecakes are ideal for making ahead of time.
  • Use crushed chocolate cookies instead of graham crackers for a richer crust.
  • Freeze cheesecakes without decorations for up to 2 months.
  • Chill thoroughly before serving for the best texture.
  • Decorate with pastel candies or berries for a festive spring presentation.
