Recipe Tips

How to Easily Create the Basketball Lines
Draw a 6-1/2-inch circle on a sheet of parchment paper; cut out circle. Draw lines for basketball on parchment circle; place over orange sugar circle. Use the back edge of a butter knife to trace over the lines to make a slight indentation in the circle. Remove parchment, then pipe the fudge topping over the indented lines.
Substitute
Prepare using reduced fat ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Special Extra
Warm additional fudge topping, then drizzle over individual servings of cheesecake just before serving.
