kraft kitchens tips

Special Extra

Dust entire surface of cooled cheesecake with unsweetened cocoa powder using a wire mesh strainer, if desired. For a festive Valentine's Day garnish, create a heart-shaped design by topping dusted cheesecake with heart-shaped stencil and sprinkling with icing sugar.

Note

If using a dark nonstick springform pan, reduce oven temperature to 300ºF.

Size-Wise

Dessert can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
