⭐ Tips for the Best Quick Cheesecake
Use softened cream cheese for the smoothest texture.
Don’t overmix after adding whipped cream — keeps it light and fluffy.
Add extra vanilla or a pinch of lemon zest for brightness.
Use mini cups for super fast chilling and cute presentation.
Double the strawberry topping if you love sauces!
