  3. Assemble and Bake: Spoon cheesecake filling over the crust in each muffin liner, filling almost to the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  4. Cool and Chill: Let cheesecakes cool completely in the muffin tin. Then, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
