Notes
Storage:Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can freeze the cheesecakes, in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Allow the cheesecakes to thaw before serving.Important Notes
You can line the muffin pan with cupcake liners. This can be a fun way to make them for an occasion, and use a liner that goes with your theme!
Instead of cookie crumb crust, you can use a whole chocolate sandwich cookie. Omit the crumbs and the melted butter. Place the cookie in the bottom of the prepared muffin pan, evenly spoon the filling on top of the cookie and bake for 18 minutes.
