Cayce says
Hi, based on instructions and comments I am confused as to whether these require baking AFTER the cheesecake filling is added. I understand that I need to bake the crusts first…but do they go back in the oven with the filling or straight into the fridge?
Lidia Simic says
Hi Cayce, leave them straight into the fridge. Good luck and enjoy!
Jennifer says
Just to clarify….you only bake the cheesecake filling for 5 minutes?

Hi Jennifer, you need to bake crusts first for 5 minutes then spoon the cheesecake batter onto the crusts to make the cups almost full and then leave in the fridge for 1 hour. Enjoy!
