Can I make Raffaello Cheesecake Mini Cups ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare these mini cups a day in advance. Just keep them covered in the fridge, and they will taste even better after sitting overnight as the flavors meld.

How long do I need to refrigerate the mini cups?

You should refrigerate the cups for at least two hours to allow the filling to set properly. For best results, chilling them longer is recommended.

Can I use different toppings for the cheesecake mini cups?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with toppings like fresh fruits, chocolate sauce, or even shredded coconut to enhance the flavors and texture.

Is there a gluten-free option for the crust?

Yes, you can substitute the graham cracker crumbs with almond flour or gluten-free graham crackers to accommodate different dietary needs.

What can I do if my cheesecake filling is too thick?

If your cheesecake filling is too thick, try adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen it up. Mix gently until reaching a smoother consistency.
