HOW TO LAYER A CHEESECAKE
I’m planning for the weekend. Are you? Whether you’ll be entertaining or adding everyday luxury, I’ve been baking our cheesecakes in layers recently and wanted to share these with you today.
My husband’s favorite dessert is cheesecake with berries. I enjoy changing this up and think that love is in the details. I’ve been experimenting with miniatures spring form pans in circle, rectangle and heart shaped and then, layering these cheese cake layers (recipe below), rather than keeping to the traditional 9″ circular pan. I like to serve 2 or 3 side by side, on an oblong rectangular serving tray.

Mix these ingredients together. Press into 6 small Spring-form Cheese Cake Pans and bake until brown — Approximately 8 minutes. Remove from over and cool crusts.
