Recipe Tips

Note
Look for the refrigerated cheesecake in the bakery section of your supermarket. If you can instead only find slices of cheesecake, you will need to purchase either 1 large or 2 small slices of cheesecake to get the approximately 3/4 cup cheesecake needed to prepare this recipe. When preparing this recipe, use both the cheesecake crust and filling.
Note
These fun treats can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before serving.
Substitute
Substitute 3/4 cup refrigerated ready-to-eat cheesecake filling for the cheesecake half. Look for this cheesecake filling in a tub next to the other cream cheese products in the dairy section of your supermarket.
