Tips & Tricks
Use high-quality white chocolate to achieve the smoothest cheesecake filling.
If the mixture feels too thick, add a tablespoon of heavy cream to loosen the texture.
Silicone molds make it much easier to remove the cheesecake bites without breaking them.
For a stronger strawberry flavor, increase the amount of strawberry puree slightly.
