Recipe FAQ
Store mini cheesecake bites in the fridge in an airtight container for 5-7 days, or the freezer for about 6 months.
I intended to use this recipe to make cheesecake lollipops for christmas and doubled the recipe, however when it was time to add the sugar 4 cups seemed like far too much for even one batch so I taste tested the mix and was glad I did! after doubling all other ingredients and only adding the 4 cups of sugar listed for a single batch, the cheesecake mix was overly sweet so i didn’t add any more. Unfortunately this caused the consistency to not be firm enough to hold their shape as nice round balls so they now just sort of look like cheese cake blobs.
