Tips:

  • I have found from personal experience that brown sugar tends to clump into hard lumps when it gets wet. So, keep your eyes peeled when you are making the crust.
  • The cupcake wrapper you use doesn’t matter, because the wrappers are going to be peeled off before you serve it. So feel free to use any leftover Valentine’s or Christmas themed wrappers.
  • If you don’t have piping bags or tips, you can use a Ziplock bag. All you need to do is cut a small tip off of a bottom corner of the bag, and you’re all set.
  • Use a knife to smooth out any uneven surfaces.
  • I suggest refrigerating the cheesecakes overnight, but if you are in a rush, pop them in the freezer for a couple hours.
