- Bake in the oven for 25 or so minutes, until centers are set (they may have a very slight jiggle still).
- Allow to cool completely and then place in the refrigerator to chill. Top with berries before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
Cheesecake adapted from Sweet Peas & Saffron
You will probably have some of the granola mixture. You can bake the remainder on a separate sheet pan.
