Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I make these cheesecake squares ahead of time? A:
Yes! These cheesecake squares can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Q: How do I prevent the cheesecake from cracking? A:
Make sure not to overbake the cheesecake. The center should still have a slight jiggle when you take it out of the oven. Cooling gradually also helps prevent cracking.
