*Kraft Kitchens Tips*

Size-Wise:
Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Note:
If using a dark nonstick springform pan, reduce oven temperature to 300ºF.

Special Extra:
Dust entire surface of cooled cheesecake with unsweetened cocoa powder using a wire mesh strainer, if desired. For a festive Valentine's Day garnish, create a heart-shaped design by topping dusted cheesecake with a heart-shaped stencil and sprinkling with powdered sugar.
