I was a bit disappointed in these, as they never firmed up and the flavor is just ok. I added a little lemon juice, which I was glad I did or they would have been really plain. I tested them 10 hours after making and again the next day and they were still creamy soft, not firm like a cheesecake at all. I did use full fat cream cheese and the only affect it should have had if any was to make it firmer not softer.
