Tips for Success

  • Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Ensures smooth filling without lumps.
  • Don’t Overbake: The centers should still have a slight jiggle when removed from the oven.
  • Chill Completely: This helps the cheesecakes set and enhances flavor.
  • Get Creative: Try flavored Oreos (like pumpkin spice or golden) for a fun twist.
