Les Mini Cheesecakes aux cerises sont tout simplement superbes! C'était la première fois que je préparais un dessert pour une grande réunion de famille, et ils ont tous adoré. Facile à faire et délicieuse! J'ai même ajouté un peu de zeste de citron pour une touche personnelle. Merci pour cette recette!
