Bake 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the center of the cheesecake is almost set. Take a metal spatula or knife around the rim of the pan to loosen the cheesecake; cool cheesecake completely before removing rim from around the cake. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

I sometimes use heart shaped or miniature spring-form pans. They are fun to use and will add a nice touch.

melt in your mouth desserts

A nice topping for cheesecake is your favorite candy bar crumbled on top! If you decide to use candy bars, put on only after the cheese cake has cooled completely. Get creative, it's about what you like!
