I don't like Cadbury creme eggs. Can I use a different candy?

Absolutely! I'd recommend sticking to flavors that compliment the vanilla and chocolate cheesecake filling, but you can absolutely use other kinds of candies.

Can I make this into individual cheesecake bites/mini cheesecakes?

You totally can! If you're using a cupcake pan, this recipe will make about 18 mini cheesecakes.

How can I tell if my cheesecake has set?

You'll know the filling has set when the top is shiny and the filling is firm to the touch.

Why does this recipe call for gelatin?

Sweetened condensed milk adds a lot of moisture to the filling, so to ensure it's firm, this recipe calls for gelatin. The filling will set even without the gelatin, but it will result in a much softer, more watery cheesecake.

Line a 9"x9" square pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter.
Press the mixture into the bottom of the parchment paper lined pan. Refrigerate.
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and water.
Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat on high until smooth and lump-free.
