NOTES

For a flawless removal, freeze the cheesecakes in a silicone tray. This ensures the cheesecakes come out intact.

Allow the cheesecakes to thaw in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to achieve the best texture.

Customize the cheesecakes by using different types of cookies for the base or adding a pinch of salt to enhance the peanut butter topping.

Drizzle with high-quality chocolate sauce for an extra touch of luxury.
