These cheesecakes can be made the day before-they are best chilled so make them the day before and save some time on cooking day. For us Christmas Eve is our big dinner party. I make these on the 23rd and save some of my sanity along with some needed time on the Christmas Eve. We hope you enjoy these delicious mini desserts!
