"this recipe i did struggle with. it did make 4 cheesecakes if you are using a regular size pie pan. i used 2 shortbread crust and 2 graham cracker crust. the ones in the short bread crust got burnt. and they weren't even on the same shelf in the oven! i don't know, just didn't work out too well for me.

"my family has been making these for years and years. we are italian and we make them in the shape of a ball and call them "butter balls". they are great even frozen :)
