Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a graham cracker crust instead of vanilla wafers?
Yes! Just mix crushed graham crackers with a bit of melted butter, press into liners, and chill before adding the filling.

Can I freeze these mini cheesecakes?
You can! Freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to an airtight container. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely — they’re great for making the night before. Just wait to add the mini eggs until right before serving for the best texture.
