Tips & Tricks
Create a water bath by transferring filled pie plate to large roasting pan. Fill the perimeter with boiling water reaching 1 inch up sides of pie plate. Carefully transfer to and from oven.
For individual cheesecakes, press crumb mixture into paper-lined standard muffin cups and adjust bake time as needed.
