For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust. Simply melt the shortening in a saucepan and cook until it turns golden brown and fragrant. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling. A sprinkle of sea salt on top of the baked squares enhances the sweetness and adds a delightful contrast. Store leftover cheesecake squares in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
