My notes
The cheesecake can be made and chilled up to 2 days in advance. For alternative melting instructions: Microwave morsels in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute on medium-high power, then stir until smooth. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
