Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I make these cheesecakes ahead of time?
You can make the cheesecakes a day ahead, but add the chocolate and strawberries just before serving for the best presentation.
→ What if I don't have a mini cheesecake pan?
You can use a regular muffin tin lined with paper liners, though they may be harder to remove.
→ Can I freeze these cheesecakes?
You can freeze the plain cheesecakes, but add the chocolate and strawberries after thawing.
→ Why did my cheesecakes crack?
Cracks usually form from overbaking or cooling too quickly. Try reducing bake time or cooling in the oven.
→ What chocolate is best for dipping?
A good quality dark chocolate (56-70%) works best as it sets well and isn't too sweet.
