07 - Refrigerate the assembled bites for at least 1 hour until fully set before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • You get that rich cheesecake satisfaction without turning on your oven or spending hours babysitting a water bath
  • Each bite delivers 4 grams of protein making them legitimate fuel disguised as an indulgent treat
02 -
  • Room temperature cream cheese is nonnegotiable because cold cream cheese creates lumpy filling that never smooths out completely
  • The blueberry compote needs to cool before swirling or it will melt your filling and create a messy streak instead of a pretty swirl
03 -
  • If your dough feels too dry and crumbly, add a teaspoon of water until it comes together
  • Use a small cookie scoop for perfectly portioned bases that bake up uniform in size
