I had a little trouble getting the cheesecake squares to set, but I think that was because I didn't let them cool long enough before I put them in the fridge. Next time I'll make sure to let them cool completely before refrigerating them.

These cheesecake squares were a bit too rich for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less cream cheese next time.

These cheesecake squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would cut the sugar in the cheesecake filling by half next time.
