Citrus Mini Cheesecakes

I received a new email yesterday: “5 New Bisquick Desserts”. YUM. There’s no option to view the entire email as webpage, or I’d link this to all of them, so I’ll just pick the one that’s going to get tested in my next Betty Crocker moment.

Need nibbles for a crowd? Cheesecake bars stir together in minutes and satisfy palates with a citrus twist.
