How do I know when mini cheesecakes are done baking?

Mini cheesecakes are ready when the centers look slightly set but still have a soft jiggle. They firm up as they cool, which keeps the texture creamy.

Can I make these cheesecakes without baking?

Yes, you can make a no-bake version by removing the egg and using thicker Greek yogurt. Chill the filling until firm, then add the cherry-lime topping.

Can I use frozen cherries for the topping?

Frozen cherries work well and soften quickly as they cook. They release enough juice to form a glossy topping once thickened.

Can I substitute regular yogurt for Greek yogurt?

You may use regular yogurt, but the texture will be softer. Strain it first to remove excess moisture for better results.

How long do mini cheesecakes last in the fridge?

Mini cheesecakes stay fresh for up to four days in an airtight container. The cherry-lime topping continues to thicken and deepen in flavor.
