Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
Keep the heavy cream cold so it whips properly.
Allow cheesecakes to chill fully for the best firm texture.
Try different toppings like chocolate sauce, caramel, crushed Oreos, or fresh berries.
Mini cheesecakes can be frozen individually and thawed in the refrigerator before serving.
