Tips
- Do not overblend the wet ingredients to avoid incorporating too much air.
- Do not overmix when combining wet and dry ingredients and folding in Fruity Pebbles.
- Use aluminum foil to cover the bottoms of the cheesecake pans to prevent the water bath from seeping in.
- A water bath (bain-marie) ensures even cooking and prevents the cheesecakes from falling flat.
- For the best results, let the cheesecakes chill in the fridge overnight.
- For an ice cream-like topping, freeze the cheesecakes with cool whip and Fruity Pebbles for 30-60 minutes.
